<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I have a classmate whose father is a lecturer at Brown. Does it somehow increase her chances of being admitted to Brown? She is also an URM and was accepted to Yale early, but she’s still applying to Brown!! I’m nervous because Brown has never taken more than one person from our school.</p>
<p>What do you all think?</p>
<p>i don’t think it would affect her chances. if she got into yale though, then it’s likely that she’d be accepted to brown. and it probably is just chance that they accept one person per year (not a “quota”)</p>
<p>I know that at most schools, being the child of a faculty member is a tip, and so yes, it does help with admission. I’ve never heard this discussed at Brown, so I don’t know directly, but I assume that yes, it does help. </p>
<p>There are no “quotas” as to number of kids admitted per high school. The high schools I am most familiar with, most often either no kids or one kid is accepted – but every now and then, two students are accepted. So don’t feel like there is no hope.</p>
<p>I would think it will increase her chances of being admitted to Brown.</p>
<p>The advantage for children of faculty member’s children is typically similar to legacy, IIRC.</p>
