I read on Brown’s website that international students need to have 8.0 in IELTS or equivalent in other english test such as TOEFL to be considered. So I wonder if there are any international students got in with <8.0 IELTS? Thanks.
Given how competitive it is for international applicants, that person who scores below 8 would have to be a once in a dozen years type of applicant, I would say.
Given your ACT score, Brown or other schools of its selectivity are not realistic for you.
Did they accept any student with 31 ACT and no academic award?
