So I visited Brown to take a tour and info session and was really surprised that at no point did they want you to actually register, sign in, or otherwise tell them you had visited. I was pretty bummed actually. Even schools with tons and tons of visitors (and applicants!) at least have you sign up online (Columbia) or fill out an info card while waiting for the tour to start (Penn). I realize these schools prob don’t track interest either, but Brown was pretty clearly saying we don’t much care about you showing us any love. I gotta admit tho, the tour was awesome! It was led by two sophs and was clearly scripted but in a totally cool and relateable way. I love the campus! The info session wasn’t as good, led by a just-graduated adcomm rep and a reeeeeally uncomfortable senior. Brown is pretty much all about the open curriculum which sounds amazing.

So was this your experience when visiting Brown?
