§ Adjusted admission flow

Applicants, admits, and class seats use separate stage scales so Early Decision and all other rounds stay readable.

Each column is scaled within that stage. Labels show exact counts.

Admission flow data
Path	Applicants	Admitted	Admit rate	Class seats	Note
Early Decision	6,251	898	14%	898	Likely class seats assume ED admits enroll.
All other rounds	42,653	1,740	4%	821	All other rounds are residual CDS totals, not exact Regular Decision.

Class-seat estimate assumes ED admits enroll. CDS does not report confirmed ED enrollment, so likely ED class seats are calculated as the smaller of ED admits and enrolled first-years.

Overall yield: 65%. Published yield blends high-commitment ED admits with the rest of the admitted pool.

Read the ED rate carefully. Published ED rates can include recruited athletes, legacy applicants, and institutional-priority applicants. The general-pool ED rate can be lower.

§ Wait list attrition

Wait-list policy reported, counts unavailable.

Wait-list outcomes can change sharply year to year.

Describe other military/veteran transfer credit policies unique to your institution:Brown does not have separate transfer credit guidelines for military veterans. The maximum number of course credits any student may receive via transfer is 15.0 course credits. Each 1.0 Brown course credit is equivalent to 4 semester credits or 6 quarter units. Brown awards transfer credit to incoming transfer students per our pre-Brown transfer credit guidelines (see https://www.brown.edu/academics/college/advising/transfer-students). Defense Language Institute courses may be transferred subject to these guidelines. CLEP or DSST test results do not earn transfer credit but may be used by students (like AP scores and SAT Subject Test results) for placement purposes pending academic department evaluation and recommendation.
