It’s a sad situation, but it’s not like Admissions should change their decision or use this as a considering factor.

I think deferral for one that would be a likely admit (was qualified) just to let other institutional priorities in for yield- yes- they should have increased ED admits given these awful circumstances and gone ahead with admittance.

Families are absolutely reeling and on edge right now. You can’t understand that trauma. They will need all of the support in the coming months and having a sib on campus helps. It’s why twins are given priority in regular years.

A sad situation, but almost no one is a “likely admit”.

Nobody knows where this investigation/situation is headed. They should have locked more down early, and certainly those with history at the school.

I know only boys who’ve gotten in

We only know deferrals or rejections, even very qualified boys.

ED is currently under scrutiny/lawsuits and Brown does not need any additional problems right now.

I know of one girl in from an nyc private, no hooks, and a whole bunch of deferrals and rejections.

I know at least one girl in from TJ.
