<p>Hi Everyone,
I will be applying to Brown for the 2013-2014 school year. I just wanted to know how many of you know how much financial aid Brown offers if you are accepted? What is the average cost of financial aid and how much does it actually cost to attend there? I am really being stressed out about the costs. What is the probability that I will be accepted at Brown University? I have a 4.3 GPA and I am Asian. I am an AP Scholar with Distinction. I have many hours of community service around 100 hours. I am also the Captain of 1 club at my high school. I received a 2200 on my SAT’S. I want to major in medicine, so I am applying to Brown’s accelerated medicine program.</p>
<p>First, Brown’s PLME is NOT an accelerated program. It does NOT save you any time. If that’s what you’re aiming for, Brown’s not the right choice. The acceptance rate is under 5%, BTW, so it’s definitely a reach for everyone. </p>
<p>Second, the only way to know how much fin aid you will get is to apply and find out.</p>
<p>As Jonri says, financial aid depends on your family’s income. You can get an idea of what your aid will look like by filling out the Brown financial aid calculator (<a href=“http://www.brown.edu/about/administration/financial-aid/browns-financial-aid-calculator[/url]”>http://www.brown.edu/about/administration/financial-aid/browns-financial-aid-calculator</a>), but the aid it shows there isn’t a given, especially if your parents have other assets not included in that calculator.</p>
<p>Brown’s Fin Aid packages vary by individual. Parents’ income, assets, other kids in college and other extenuating circumstances all fall into play. Your individual accomplishments do not – Brown (and other Ivies) offer no “merit” scholarships.</p>
<p>Brown, and all the Ivies, give out financial aid solely on need base. According to College Board, the tuition for an on-campus student is 60,034. The average financial aid package is 37,355, but like everybody else has said, it really depends on your family’s income.</p>
