<p>[Applications</a> up 21 percent over last year - Campus News](<a href=“http://media.www.browndailyherald.com/media/storage/paper472/news/2009/01/23/CampusNews/Applications.Up.21.Percent.Over.Last.Year-3595114.shtml]Applications”>http://media.www.browndailyherald.com/media/storage/paper472/news/2009/01/23/CampusNews/Applications.Up.21.Percent.Over.Last.Year-3595114.shtml)</p>
<p>Oh no! I’m prepared for the worst on Tuesday…</p>
<p>Well…that is far from encouraging. And they accept, what, 3,000 applicants? That’s a 12% acceptance rating! Thank God for my safety schools…</p>
<p>Besides last year (a big mistake, with too many students ending up being in '12), Brown admits roughly 2600 students a year. Around 550 of these are from ED. Doing the math…</p>
<p>(2600-550)/25000= 8.2% In reality, it could be a bit higher or lower for a number of reasons…I’d assume they would be cautious with overdoing it again, but also they probably know a lot of people won’t have the money with the economy. idk…8.2% give or take.</p>
<p>It sucks because people who got deferred ED (such as me) have even LESS of a chance! Oh well. I am excited to go to Georgia Tech anyway. Good luck everyone!!!</p>
<p>Is it really 2600? I always thought it was 1485.</p>
<p>Even though I’m fully aware that my chances of being admitted are close to nil, I know I’m going to be extremely disappointed with the news, anyway. </p>
<p>As if that wasn’t enough, I recently discovered a typo in one of my short answers that will be sure to seal my fate-- I wrote “Van Winkle” instead of “Van Wickle”. DOH! Not to mention the fact that I never had an alumni interview-- she sent me an e-mail towards the end of February apologizing for the fact that she missed the interview deadline (she had been away on vacation and didn’t check her e-mail until she got back). I guess the stars just weren’t aligning for me as far as Brown goes. Hopefully you guys had better luck than I did!</p>
<p>@ash09: ~2600 get admit letters, 1485 or so of those decide to attend</p>
<p>Looks like they bumped it up to 2700, so the RD rate is: just under 9%
For an overall rate of: just under 11%</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone today! I hope this doesn’t make every mad at me lol, just trying to give out the correct info.</p>
<p>I know that many admits to Brown were ED, but here is the final number of admits:</p>
<p>“Brown University now says it admitted 2,708 of the 24,988 applications it received for next year’s freshman class, which translates to an admission rate of about 11 percent, down from 13.4 percent last year.”</p>
