On the Brown homepage, on the admissions banner, it says "It will take 18 admission officers and more than 20 support staff to process, read and evaluate the 19,000-or-so applications submitted to Brown this year."</p>

Pretty much all colleges got a big jump in applications, as they did last year. Duke received 18,500 applications in spite of the lacrosse incident, for instance.</p>
<p>Hey applicants don't complain. The class of 2010 had it just as bad.</p>
<p>Oh thx warbler. I thought it was one of those articles which also contained info about the geographic distribution, ect.
But yea, I'm scared now, ^^</p>
<p>When I visited USC, they were filming an episode of the O.C. that takes place at Brown. It was pretty funny watching people walk around in heavy coats when it was 70 degrees outside.</p>
