<p>The vast majority of students at Brown satisfy the writing requirement coming in. In fact, I know a fair number of individuals here who aren’t even aware that the requirement exists because apparently they don’t contact you about it unless you fail to meet the requirement during the admissions process. It’s a really low percentage who have to fulfill it. I don’t remember it exactly, but I’ve had it cited at me before by an admissions officer and it’s rather low(in the single digits, and low ones at that) and I imagine mostly consists of “special” admits. I have no idea how many get that check later on in their career here, but I imagine not many.</p>
