If you are accomplished in music, you may include additional supplements with your application in the Common Application, through SlideRoom. You do not need to wait for access to your Brown Applicant Portal to upload music to SlideRoom.
For the fall application, the deadline to create a SlideRoom account is October 1 and the deadline to submit a music supplement is October 6. For the spring application, the deadline to create a SlideRoom account is March 1 and the deadline to submit a music supplement is March 6.
Music Submission Details
You may submit:
You may also link to media from YouTube, Vimeo or SoundCloud. A $5 non-refundable processing fee is required at the time of submission. If you have a Common Application fee waiver, the SlideRoom fee will automatically be waived. Fee waivers can also be requested by emailing transferadmission@brown.edu prior to submitting your SlideRoom portfolio.
Students uploading a music submission should include the following information:
While many Brown students are accomplished in the visual and performing arts and pursue visual arts, dance and theater in and out of the classroom, auditions and portfolios are neither required nor reviewed for transfer students interested in Visual Arts, Dance and Theatre Arts and Performance Studies.
We prefer that you upload all other supplementary materials to your file after you receive access to your Brown Applicant Portal.
We recommend that you do not send a collection of award certificates or similar materials.
If you have a YouTube video you'd like to share, or maintain an online presence that showcases your background, talents or creativity, please include that link in the Brown University Questions (Activities) section of the Common Application.
One optional letter of recommendation may be requested and submitted through the Common Application. Any additional supplementary recommendations should be sent directly by your recommender, either as a PDF emailed to transferdocuments@brown.edu or by fax to 401-863-9300. Be sure to ask your recommender to include your full name, date of birth and college or university in their letter so that we can match the letter to your application.
Interviews are not offered as a component of Brown’s admission process. Instead, the video introduction provides a wonderful opportunity for us to learn more about you. After you have submitted the Common Application you will receive access to your Brown Applicant Portal. Once logged into your Brown Applicant Portal you will be given the option to submit a 2-minute personal video introduction. The deadline to submit a video introduction is October 15 for the fall application and March 15 for the spring application.
