<p>i believe the admit rate at brown will be significantly down this year, with 25,000 applicants.</p>
<p>last year 2100 students were admitted for an overall rate of 13.3%</p>
<p>this year if 2100 are admitted out of 25,000 the admit rate will be a dramatically lower 8.4%</p>
<p>25,000?! How many applied last year?</p>
<p>8.4% is scary.</p>
<p>i think it was just under 21,000</p>
<p>where did this 25,000 number come from?</p>
<p>estimate, it doesnt seem ridiculous either</p>
<p>I hate my life.</p>
<p>Please don't freak out before we find out where this data is from. dcircle...can we see a link confirming your claim?</p>
<p>There goes any chance of me getting in.</p>
<p>I agree Chronic. I give myself a 2% chance of getting in, at the highest. </p>
<p>I think I'll end up at Tulane..not that that is a bad thing I love Tulane.</p>
<p>Good to have a safety school that I love that much.</p>
<p>oh shi -</p>
<p>teamam-
If you go to the Brown website and put your mouse over Admission it says it'll take 19 AOs and 20+ staff members to get through the "almost 25,000 first-year applications" sent in this year.</p>
<p>oh my GOD</p>
<p>i knew about the 25,000 from the website</p>
<p>but i hadn't checked on the class size and done the math</p>
<p>aaaaaaaaaaaaggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh</p>
<p>you have to realize some ppl are like me applying with only a 31 act that are sure rejects so its okay poseur think of it as at least only 24,999 people</p>
<p>lawl! "only a 31"? </p>
<p>only on CC...</p>
<p>ED acceptance rates were up this year, though, right?</p>
<p>Oh yay, so my chances are even less ?!!?!</p>
<p>Wow. They must be literally tossing apps without a second thought looking at just one piece of info.</p>
<p>Last year, wasn't it the case that more of the accepted students matriculated than expected? Would that cause them to accept fewer than 2100 this year?</p>
<p>luckily im the only person from my area applying to brown + from an underrepresented area with a good interview and adding to the diversity </p>
<p>i think i have a decent shot. heres to being one of the 2100!</p>
