You may apply for admission to Brown through the RUE program for either the first semester, beginning in September, or for the second semester, beginning in January. All completed applications for either semester must be received in the Admission Office by February 15. Decision notifications will be mailed approximately May 1. RUE applicants are asked to submit an application, and supply two or three letters of recommendation, copies of secondary school transcripts, and transcripts for any college or university credit which has been earned in the past. On-campus interviews are strongly recommended and are arranged at the applicant s request after applications are filed.
Telephone interviews are also available in lieu of an on-campus interview.
A separate RUE Admission Committee makes admission decisions based primarily on an appraisal of the experience, maturity, commitment, and future academic potential of applicants. This means that candidates can be judged in terms of their own ability and qualifications for Brown and not considered with the applicant pool of students of traditional entering age. Brown University admits students of any race, color, religion, handicap, sex, and national or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the University. It does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, age, handicap, status as a veteran, national or ethnic origin, or sexual orientation in the administration of its admission policies, educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, or other school-administered programs. Brown offers several programs to assist students in making payment arrangements including various loans such as Signature and CitiAssist Loans as well as an installment payment plan.
