I applied to Brown University through Common App as a first-year applicant.
(Bachelor of Science → Engineering)
I swear there were two required essay prompts that were part of the common app, NOT the writing supplement page.
They were…
(1) Because you have expressed an interest in Chemistry, Computer Science, Geology, Mathematics or Physics, we would like to know a bit more about you. Respond to the following questions separately, and please remember to include the number corresponding to each question in your uploaded response! (and then 3 sub-Qs)
(2) Engineering (Limit your total response to the following 3 questions to 500 words.) (and then 3 sub-Qs)
When I submitted my app, however, I could not see the first prompt in my common app account or the pdf file submitted to the school! I see the second prompt, but my response for the first is missing… as well as the question (weird…)
Both responses were uploaded as Word documents.
I already emailed the admissions office, but their replies are very unclear and useless…
anyone experience the same thing? please help
