<p>I dont really know the answers to your specific questions. I do know that over 1650 applied (total) last year, and about 100 were accepted. About 55 matriculated. The acceptance rate was somewhere around 5% or so. Some ppl will tell you that not checking the box to be bound to brown does hurt you, b/c they want to see you’re committed to the school as well as the program, but I have no idea if that’s true. Ppl do get in without checking the box.</p>
