Dear (First name):

I hope you are as pleased to receive this decision notification as I am to provide it. You have been admitted to the 243rd class to enter The College of Brown University. I congratulate you on your record of academic and personal accomplishments, to which can now be added the honor of being accepted as an Early Decision applicant to Brown. You will be one of 1,450 first-year students who individually and collectively display a remarkable diversity of strengths and interests. Each of you was chosen not only for what we believe you can contribute to our academic community, but also for what you will gain from the wonderful opportunities that distinguish undergraduate education at Brown.

Your official admission decision letter has been mailed to you and I ask that you read it carefully, as it contains more detailed information than is possible for us to provide here. If you are a candidate for financial aid, your financial aid award letter is included with the decision letter; you may also access that information online. Please remember that as a student admitted under an Early Decision plan, you are required to withdraw all applications to other colleges, and you may not initiate any new applications.

We know that this Early Decision admission will not only relieve you of the anxiety of applying to college, but more importantly, it will permit you to focus your efforts on learning for the rest of the year. Please remember that this offer of admission is contingent upon your maintaining a record of the same general quality as that on which we based our decision.

On behalf of the faculty and President Ruth Simmons, please accept my congratulations on your admission. Please do not hesitate to write to me if you have any questions that remain after you receive your official decision letter.

Sincerely,

James S. Miller
Dean of Admission
