Just curious, I hear a lot about aacepted students with interdisciplinary interests who want to use Brown's flexibility to take an eclectic set of courses, but I've never heard of a student whose answer to "why open curriculum" was "so I can singularly focus on my STEM interests, UK-style". Does anyone know of a student who was accepted with that angle? From reading brown's page it seems that they want the former type of student, not the latter.

• Class of 2030 (ED): 890 admitted out of 5,406 applicants → ~16.5%

So ED got ~1.4 percentage points more selective year-over-year (and the applicant pool was larger for 2030


This is the peak before the decline. Hardest year. 2007/2008 birthdates

It was rough this year.

They had 500 more applicants than last year and accepted fewer.

This board is making stuff up. Holton had a Brown athlete several years ago not this year. I have no idea if any seniors got in through the ED process.
