Those numbers have not been validated so I wouldn’t trust them until a source is provided.
Here are last years numbers as a guideline of what you can roughly expect. Any ED acceptance rates you see published typically do include any “hooked” candidate such as athletes so the “unhooked” acceptance rates tend to be significantly lower unfortunately.
Their ED numbers in the past have included sports recruits, Questbridge, etc.
For the parents and you kids filming yourself when you open up the (hopefully!) acceptance portal message, let’s say with some bad luck…and this point, it’s a lottery because you earned the right to apply ED with the hard work you put in to this point…and you got deferred or rejected. You don’t have to delete the video. Use it to fuel your ambition. It’ll be fun to look at it if you get accepted in the RD. If it’s a rejection, 5 years from now, my hope is that you all look at this sliver in the time continuum and realize you were meant to be where you got in. If you made it this far, you’ll make the most anywhere you attend. Prove that Brown was so wrong in not being able to squeeze an extra seat for you.
It’s tough as a student to wait. I know it. I’ve seen the look in my kid’s eyes. It’s just as tough as an engaged parent to sense your child’s anxiety. It will all be okay. You will thrive where you’re supposed to be. As a public uni kid, I’m proof of that. If you get the golden ticket, celebrate like mad in the privacy of your home. You deserve to celebrate! Just remember outside of the home, there may be friends who are still feeling the anxiety as they await their decision and that could be extended all the way thru the first week of April.
Got in EA to Creative Writing Program! YAY!!!
Wrong thread…
Did anyone get another idoc request again from the college board today?
They already posted decisions???
No.
Does anyone have the withdraw option? Mine has disappeared.
disappeared for everyone.
Thanks 
Did anyone elses guidance counselor recieve an email from Brown with ED stats this morning?
did your guidance counselor receive one? what is the email about? thanks
Mine did, it was just like 2026 ED stats I think, I was just wondering if anyone else’s counselor had recieved anything similar.
nice your counselor shared the notice with you. good luck
can someone post the stats sent to the counselors?
Email from my son’s CC: “They are up 11% in ED applications which honestly is not a huge increase given what I’m hearing from some other schools and that they expect their admit rate to be overall about 14% in ED. They did not state this, but that number also includes recruited DI athletes, so the admit rate for non-athletes will always be smaller. Overall, these numbers aren’t scarier than any other year. Pretty typical”.
Thanks!
This suggests roughly the same approx 880ish acceptances vs 6,150ish applicants versus last years 885 vs 5,540. 14% vs last years 15.9% acceptance rate inclusive of all hooked ED candidates.
Not to be negative but please recognize the hooked pool and slots remains relatively constant so the incremental applicants this year has a disproportionate impact on the unhooked (on top of last years cited 1,000 increase).
Stated differently it is becoming even more competitive for unhooked candidates and hopefully no one who gets deferred or rejected gets overly upset. It’s not personal and you are all great. Way to many great and talented kids, all of whom it will work out for!!
Good luck to everyone.
Last years numbers…
My math says Brown accepted 861 ED applicants, which if they accept 2537 overall again this year, is approximately 33% of the class. Given hooked applicants including athletes and legacy, I question how many unhooked applicants could have been admitted. The numbers are tough. Of course, my math could be wrong.
