Does Brown University Conduct Interviews for Dallas Applicants?

I'm applying to Brown and live in Dallas. Does anyone know if Brown University offers interviews specifically for applicants from Dallas? If so, how can I make sure I get one?

Brown University indeed offers interview opportunities to applicants, including those from the Dallas area. However, whether or not you receive an interview depends largely on alumni availability in your area, as all interviews are conducted by alumni volunteers.

If you're offered an interview, you'll be contacted directly by the alumni volunteer. Usually, they reach out via email or phone to arrange the specifics. However, it's important to note that due to the large volume of applicants and the limited number of alumni volunteers available, not all students will receive an interview opportunity.

The interviews aren't required and don't heavily influence admissions decisions. Many students are admitted each year who did not have interviews, so don't worry if you don't receive an interview invitation. The interview is considered to be more of an informational exchange and a chance for you to ask any lingering questions rather than an evaluative process.

Remember, Brown University views interviews more as an opportunity for applicants to learn about the university from someone who has been a student there, rather than a chance to evaluate candidates. This means that not getting an interview doesn't reflect poorly on your application.
