Hi there! I'm a junior in high school and I'm considering applying to Brown as one of my top choices. I was wondering when the early action deadline for Brown University is so I can plan ahead and get my application materials ready. Thanks!
Hi! Brown University does not have an Early Action (EA) option for applicants. However, they do offer an Early Decision (ED) option. The Early Decision deadline for Brown University is November 1st. Remember, if you apply using the ED option and you get accepted, you are committed to attend Brown, as long as the financial aid package provided meets your needs. This binding nature is different from the flexibility of EA, so make sure you're on board with that before applying early to Brown.
It's great that you're planning ahead, though! Make sure to have all your application materials, including essays, recommendations, and transcripts, prepared well in advance of the deadline, to avoid any last minute stress. And if you find yourself looking for tips on how to maximize your chances of acceptance at Brown, consider checking out this blog post from CollegeVine, which contains detailed breakdowns of each of Brown's school-specific supplemental essays: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-brown-university-and-plme-essays. After all, at highly selective schools like Brown, essays are often just the thing that distinguish one talented applicant from another.
Good luck with your application to Brown!
