For first-year applicants in the 2021-2022 admission cycle, Brown has extended our test optional policy. This change is for the 2021-2022 academic year only. More updates and information can be found on our Standardized Tests webpage.

Once you have submitted your Common Application, you will receive access to your Brown Applicant Portal from us on a rolling basis.

Applying under our Regular Decision plan will allow you to consider other college options before making your final decision by May 3. Admitted students are expected to notify Brown about their decision to enroll by May 3, which is the common reply date for many colleges.
