Brown University Admits 906 Early Decision Students To Undergraduate Class Of 2029

After Brown University reinstated the need to submit standardized test scores, this year the number of early decision applicants saw a decline which was also anticipated.

Study in US: Brown University has invited 906 applicants to be the first members of its undergraduate Class of 2029. Out of a pool of 5,048 early decision applicants, these students are selected to be part of the prestigious university in the US.

Associate Provost for Enrollment and Dean of Admission Logan Powell said that all applicants demonstrated tremendous talents and academic achievements and an array of skills.

While commenting on this Powell said, “As Brown continues to expand its outreach to exceptional students from a wide range of backgrounds, we are fulfilling our commitment to the vitally important academic strength and diversity of perspectives that define our community. The depth of talent among the applicants in our early decision pool was extraordinary by all measures, from their academic accomplishments to their resilience to the positive impact they’ve made in their own communities.”

Out of these selected students, 19% of them are the first to attend college in their family and 65% applied for financial aid. 90 students were admitted through a national nonprofit organization QuestBridge which is also the Brown University partner.

“The international financial aid initiative builds on our earlier efforts to enroll accomplished international students, which have progressively enabled a broader range of top students from around the world to choose Brown with the support of robust financial aid. Extending our need-blind admission approach to all first-year applicants is one of many measures that helps make Brown a more affordable choice for extraordinarily talented students from every income level," Powell said.

“The admitted members of the Class of 2029 expressed an enthusiasm to embrace Brown’s Open Curriculum and a deep interest in listening to and learning from one another. While they come to Brown with their own ideas and opinions, they’re really interested in civil discourse, dialogue, learning and sharing,” Powell added.

Powell also added that after the reinstatement of its requirement to submit standardized test scores for admission, the number of applicants decreased which reflects the forced closure of ACT/SAT testing centres during the Covid-19 pandemic.
