Brown University and Early Action

Hey everyone, quick question. Does Brown have an Early Action admission process? I'm trying to plan my application strategy and it would really help to know this. Thanks!

Hi there! I see you're in the planning stages of your application strategy - good move. To answer your question, no, Brown University does not offer an Early Action application process. They do have an Early Decision program.Early Decision is a binding agreement - if you apply to Brown under Early Decision and are accepted, you must commit to attending Brown and withdraw all other applications you've submitted to other colleges. So, if Brown is your top choice, early decision could be a good strategy, but remember that binding decision!

Also, keep in mind your financial standing. While financial aid works the same in the early round as regular, you will have less time to compare financial aid packages from different schools since you are obligated to attend if accepted early.

Brown's ED program has a deadline typically in early November, and applicants usually hear back from the university in mid-December. Please verify specific dates on Brown's admissions website as they might vary slightly each year.Best of luck as you continue to craft your application strategy!
