Hello! I'm thinking about applying to Brown University through their Early Decision program. Can anyone provide information on their ED acceptance rate? I'm curious about how competitive it is compared to regular decision. Thanks in advance!
Hello! Brown University's Early Decision acceptance rate tends to be higher than its Regular Decision acceptance rate. For the class of 2028 that was just admitted this winter, the ED acceptance rate was 14.4%, while their RD acceptance rate tends to hover around 5-7%. Keep in mind that these rates can fluctuate from year to year, so it's important to focus on optimizing your application and expressing a strong interest in the school.
Applying Early Decision can give you an advantage in the admissions process, as it signals to the admissions committee that Brown is your first-choice school, and you're committed to attending if admitted. ED applicants tend to have slightly higher chances of acceptance compared to RD, but it is still competitive, and you should ensure your application is strong in all aspects.
Remember, even if you apply Early Decision and get accepted, you're obligated to attend, so it's important to be confident that Brown is the right fit for you before committing to the ED process. Best of luck with your application!
