Chances Brown ED 2024

If your D is offered an interview by an alum she should 100% take it. The interview itself is only marginally considered (except if an experienced interviewer writes “the kid showed almost no interest in Brown since she’s hoping to go to culinary school if her parents can be persuaded”) but if your D is seriously interested it can only help her.

I interviewed exactly one student in my entire tenure as a volunteer who was “knock your socks off” fantastic, and because I was worried that his application would not reveal how strong he was, I bugged my regional adcom until I was told “You’ll get the same happy news that he will on decision day” (so I stopped nagging). There are kids who shine on paper and kids who shine in person, and your D should push every lever to advance her case!

Has she done a deep dive on the colleges which are somewhat easier to get into that are “Brown-like”???
