<p>I was told that Brown looks favorably on applicants who are siblings of current or former students, especially in the ED round. Does anyone know if this is accurate?</p>
<p>Siblings are considered legacy applicants, and that can help. Brown says that legacy doesn’t help more in ED than in RD – I’ve known many legacies to be accepted in the RD round.</p>
<p>Yup, you’re considered a legacy with a sibling at Brown, but as sly said, it’s just normal legacy type status.</p>
<p>“just normal” legacy status = 40% chance of acceptance…</p>
<p>Still have to have the goods, bobbobbob.</p>
<p>Not 40% – more like 30%.</p>
<p>interesting and good for me! my sister was a Brown Bear (and my parents paid full tuition for 4 years which is a factor) so that can only help!</p>
<p>no…its around 37-40% on a given year. I’m sure of it.</p>
<p>Sorry bob, I’ve seen the stats often enough to know it is not as high as 37 to 40 percent. Last year the legacy acceptance rate was around 32 percent.</p>
<p>…care to share your source then?</p>
<p>i found a source that looks extremely official from Brown’s Alum website:</p>
<p>[BAA</a> - ACAP: Building the list: Brown](<a href=“Benefits | Alumni & Friends | Brown University”>Benefits | Alumni & Friends | Brown University)</p>
<p>From the class of 2010, ED applicants w/ alumni relation had a 39% acceptance rate. Not half bad!</p>
