✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

9 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over my application, Brown's website, talking to students in the morning (interviews are in the afternoon)

What impressed you positively?

The collegiality of the students, the niceness of the admissions staff, the interviewers, getting to chat/tour with 3rd year students.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really. It was cold/icy but obviously no fault of Brown's! Thought I'd be turned off by the high number of PLME kids but students said that there really isn't any division/tension between the PLMEs and standard admits.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there isn't much traffic going from Boston --&gt; Providence in the AM. Got there wayyyyy too early.

What are your general comments?

Very positive experience. Brown makes it obvious that they want their interviewees to enjoy the day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Allot more than $5 for lunch as most meals at the cafeteria cost more than that.
