<p>Here is a new article about the applicant pool for 2017:
[Brown</a> University Class of 2017 | Brown University News and Events](<a href=“http://news.brown.edu/pressreleases/2013/01/applicants]Brown”>http://news.brown.edu/pressreleases/2013/01/applicants)
Note that it appears that 1/3 of the class is already picked from ED applicants. However, Brown has been a bit sneaky in slowly “over enrolling”, (as many schools have been) so the class size, I suspect, will be more than 1500.</p>
<p>Another single digit acceptance rate is in the works. Wow.</p>
<p>Most international applicant pool… Oh lucky me</p>
<p>single digit? You could take it a step further: It’s approaching 5%. 1/19 get in.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, that’s not right. 1/19 get accepted and also select Brown as their final choice. The record low acceptance rate was 2 years ago when my son applied: 7.5% in RD, 8.7% overall.</p>
<p>Oops. Good catch</p>
<p>C-3PO: Sir, the possibility of successfully navigating an asteroid field is approximately 3,720 to 1. </p>
<p>Han Solo: Never tell me the odds.</p>
<p>^That just made my day.</p>
<p>Personally, I think it’s hypocritical for colleges to count Asians as “students of color” but deliberately make their admission more difficult.</p>
