When does the admissions committee read a candidate’s RISD/PLME supplements?

For PLME, admissions officers start out by reading your Brown app. If they choose to accept you, then your file is sent over to the PLME admissions committee. They don’t want to waste their time by reading the files of students who wouldn’t even be accepted to Brown. The PLME admissions committee will then evaluate your whole file.

RISD is a different story. For RISD, your Brown and RISD applications are read separately by each school, and the extra supplement is read in the case that you are accepted to both.
