I'm applying to Brown and trying to figure out their interview policy. Do they require interviews for all applicants, and how important is it in the admissions process?
Brown University has actually transitioned away from the traditional alumni interviews the school offered in the past. That being said, Brown does offer students the option to submit a short video to share more with the admissions committee. They see this option as more equitable, as anyone can submit a video, compared to interviews which required an alumni interviewer to be available in your geographic area.
Remember to focus on the more critical aspects of your application, such as maintaining your academic performance and writing compelling and personal essays. Hope this clarifies things!
