Is There Rolling Admission at Brown University?

I'd like to apply to Brown University and heard something about rolling admission somewhere. Does Brown offer this, or is it strictly early and regular decisions? Trying to figure out how best to manage my application timeline.

Brown University does not offer rolling admission. The admissions process at Brown operates under a system of Early Decision and Regular Decision. The Early Decision deadline typically falls in the first week of November, and students applying under this scheme are expected to attend if accepted, as it is a binding agreement. Regular Decision applications are typically due by the first week of January.

The best way to manage your application timeline is to thoroughly research the admissions schedules of all your schools of interest and then create a calendar or tracker to keep on top of deadlines. This approach will ensure that your applications are completed on time and can also help reduce stress. While working on your applications, pay close attention to each college's specific requirements and prioritize your efforts accordingly. You might prefer, for example, to focus more on your Early Decision application if that's the school you're most interested in.

Remember, whether you’re applying Early Decision or Regular Decision, what matters most is the quality of your application, so ensure that you have sufficient time to put forth your best effort in all aspects of it. Best of luck with your applications!
