Brown WL - Any Insight To Previous Years?

[Anonymous]

I know they only took a handful last year. Anyone know how do they usually do it? A few at a time? All at once and then done? Seems like they took a few yesterday based on this board and a few other places. Is there a pattern? Of course they'll be full at some point but it seems like other schools have had more of a pattern. NYU for example has worked it for a few weeks. So has Vanderbilt but so has Duke this year. (of course, different tiers and different amounts of kids - just making comparisons)

I've heard that ivies do small waves. No personal experience though. Good luck!

Not healthy. Chances are minuscule. DS should love the school that loves him.

Honestly has been wanting Brown over the "higher-ranked" Ivy that picked him. I agree. I think Brown would be a better fit. But, we are clearly all powerless againt the Ivy admissions gods.

My son got off 5/14 and had until 5/21 to decide. We saw a couple kids there at same time who were also off when we revisted. Saw a few more coming off after that initial.

We know a set of legacy twins who came off last week.

I know them too, but it's rude to post something so easily identifying.

Don’t know them but why? Clearly they didn’t keep it a secret if two people know. Great for them.

yep. the kids are 100% open (on social media and real life) about getting off the waitlist. The parent uses a @brown.edu personal email. It's hardly a state secret in any way.
