<p>Here’s an updated link to the Brown statistics:</p>
<p>[Admission</a> Facts | Undergraduate Admission](<a href=“Undergraduate Admission | Brown University”>Undergraduate Admission | Brown University)</p>
<p>The difference is worth noting, but is not exponential. </p>
<p>Note that the largest proportion of accepted students falls in the 33-35 range, followed closely by the 29-32s.</p>
<p>Other factors, such as grades, would need to be filtered before a direct correlation could be established. (I would wager that a higher fraction of the 36 crowd had perfect GPAs, for example). The less than 3:1 odds of acceptance <em>regardless</em> of score matters, too. </p>
<p>Obviously Brown is looking at many other factors here. </p>
<p>Consider this when deciding whether to retake, and be absolutely sure you won’t risk lowering your score. Worth the cost? Anyone seriously considering Brown should realize that the cost of the test buys just under 7 hours at Brown. (“Hours” as in real-life wall clock, not academic credits).</p>
