“Their acceptance rate is 9%”

Actually Browns total acceptance rate for class of 2024 6.6% and 4.8% RD.

The below article details last years ED round in which applications were up 21% year over year…

@jackhitch1 I appreciate you are trying to help the OP;
“I would give you close to 25% normal and 55% early”. However arbitrarily handicapping a likelihood of admissions based on uninformed stats with limited insight into the candidates essays, narrative etc is setting the OP up to fail. Keep in mind the difference between throwing out an acceptance rate of 9 when the reality is 4.8 is dramatic (approx. half the likelihood as expressed).

"Brown tends to look at your major closely. ". Also kind of a silly comment given Brown doesn’t have majors…they have concentrations as part of the open curriculum. Less focus is put on prospective areas of focus given the anticipated fluidity afforded and encouraged by the open curriculum.

OP learn more, talk to your GC and only rely on truly knowledgeable advisors. You have some great ECs and a good shot if you tailor your application. The consequences are way to real however to rely on CC advice in isolation.
