<p>Hi, these are last year’s essay prompts:</p>
<p>Question #1:
Tell us about the academic areas which interest you most and your reasons for applying to Brown.</p>
<p>Question #2:
Who interested you in Brown (e.g., college counselor, Brown alumnus/a, admission officer, undergraduate, relative)?</p>
<p>Question #3:
In reading your application, we want to get to know you as well as we can. We ask that you use this opportunity to tell us something more about yourself that would help us toward a sense of who you are, how you think, and what issues and ideas interest you most.</p>

<p>If you want to major in chemistry, engineering, physics or CS then:</p>
<p>Question #4: Many applicants to college are unsure about eventual majors. What factors led you to an interest in the field of science you have selected above?</p>
<p>Question #5: What experiences, beyond school work, have broadened your interest in this particular field of science (these might include science fair projects, summer jobs, reading, etc.).</p>
<p>Question #6A:Chemistry, Computer Science, or Physics:
- What concept in your anticipated major were you most proud of mastering?
- Briefly describe the course (or courses) you have taken up to the present in your chosen field of science. If possible, please include the title of the textbook and a short syllabus.</p>
<p>Question #6B: Engineering
Brown offers programs in Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Materials and Mechanical Engineering. Because there is a common core curriculum within Engineering, students need not select a specific area until their junior year. We are curious, however, as to whether any particular program within Engineering presently appeals to you. Please discuss that choice if you have one.</p>
<p>You will need to answer question 6a or 6b depending on your major.</p>
<p>Now, I have no idea if they are going to use these prompts again, so it’s better to wait a bit longer for the official 2009 supplement.</p>
