Brown will continue to offer its Early Decision option, which is attractive to prospective students and has contributed to efforts to enroll an undergraduate class that is both highly qualified and diverse.

Starting with next year’s application cycle (effective for the Class of 2029), Brown will reinstate the requirement that applicants for first-year admission submit standardized tests scores (the SAT or ACT, except in the rare circumstance when these tests are not available to a student). This will accompany enhanced communications to students and school counselors emphasizing that test scores are interpreted in the context of a student’s background and educational opportunities.

Current practices for applicants with family connections — including “legacies” and children of faculty and staff — will remain unchanged while we continue to consider a range of complex questions raised by the committee and seek more input from our community.

Have no issue with them doing it but very later notification since most who are planning on taking it already signed up. No open slots by us testing unless you drive 2+ hours - (not CA) - would only have the potential August slot open- they have half the amount of locations they had in the past since not as many students are taking it.

Not a lot of time for kids to now study with AP tests etc. [/quote]
People take these tests in senior year all the time. That is the norm in this country. Not too late at all to sign up if you are in 11th now.[/quote]
Juniors aiming for top schools have taken the SAT at least once already. This is a very late call.[/quote]
