<p>According to my Fiske guide, Brown offers early action, but not early decision. But when I went on their website, they said otherwise. So…what does Brown offer?</p>
<p>early decision</p>
<p>ED. Fiske is incorrect.</p>
<p>Brown has never had EA, but has had ED for some time now.</p>
<p>modestmelody, that is incorrect. Brown did offer EA, but starting with the class of 2006 admissions, they returned to ED [source</a>].</p>
<p>Ah, I was under the impression they had no early program before that point, but I stand corrected. Regardless, doesn't mean much, since what's important is what they have now: ED (which is a better system anyway).</p>
<p>your fiske book is probably outdated.</p>
<p>It must be--I just checked my 2007, and it says ED.</p>
<p>Fiske is written a while before it goes to print, so this 2007 is already out of date on a lot of things, anyways.</p>
<p>Nah, that's just shameful that the 2007 would be so many years out of date -- it was probably just an error.</p>
<p>No no--2007 had it right. It just gets other, totally brown-unrelated things wrong sometimes. It (for no humans are involved in its production, we can only hope) really likes to bludgeon statistics, most of all.</p>
<p>Brown actually had ED up to 1971 (or 72) and then switched to EA. Then they switched back.</p>
<p>Actually, Brown had Early Decision through at least 1976. Whether a school uses ED or EA is a marketing decision by the college.</p>
<p>Yes, some year in the 70's. I have the course catalogue from 1977-1978 and they had EA.</p>
