^Congrats, Debbie7452! I wouldn’t worry about the fact that your daughter’s quiet. One thing I noticed about every Brown Scholar I’ve met so far is that each one of them seems to be “sweet,” selfless, and humble. Several of them are quiet. It seems like a lot of sweet, selfless, humble people are kind of on the quiet side. My son is sort of quiet when he first meets people, but I think he does a pretty good job in interviews. One girl we know very well is, imo, painfully quiet and shy! She interviewed for the scholarship and got it. I don’t think being quiet puts Mr. Brown off in any way. My sense is that he’s looking for great character, good citizenship, and academic and extracurricular strengths.

It’s trite, but she really should just be herself. Based on what I know about the other Brown Scholars I’ve since met, I’m guessing she’s naturally genuine. She should just go with that and relax! They already know much of what they need to know about her, I’m guessing they just want to confirm it in-person.

Best of luck and congrats to her so far!
