Brown supplemental essay prompt 2
Students entering Brown often find that making their home on College Hill naturally invites reflection on where they came from. Share how an aspect of your growing up has inspired or challenged you, and what unique contributions this might allow you to make to the Brown community. (200-250 words)*
How to answer this prompt ? what exactly Brown expects from this prompt ?
It’s a pretty straightforward prompt. They want to know you and what you’ll bring to their community.

Hello! Has anyone who has submitted their ED application received their portal invitation yet?
Aren’t those released immediately after 1st November, asking everyone to submit their optional 2min videos?

Brown has said their early decision notifications will come out “by mid-December”.
Does anyone know if there’s a more exact estimate, maybe based on past years? For example, if for the last three years the Brown early decision notifications have always come out the Tuesday before December 15 (I’m making this up), that would be helpful to know.
Whatever Thursday is around the 15th if I remember correctly.

I think you are right. Now that you mention it I have a vague memory of them not being ready when all the other Ivies came out.
