If you just received disappointing news from Brown University, you’re not alone. Every year, thousands of Early Decision applicants receive news of their deferral to Brown University’s Regular Decision round. Luckily for you, there are some steps you can take to increase your chances of admission in the Regular Decision round.
Last year, Brown accepted just 14.4% of Early Decision applicants, which means 85.6% of those applicants did not receive the news they were hoping for. Rest assured that those percentages are likely around the same this year, and you are definitely in the majority. Remember that being deferred is still an accomplishment, and since Brown accepted 3.64% of Regular Decision applicants last year, there is still hope.
We know this is not the news you were hoping for, but there is no one school, internship, or job that is going to lead you to success. That’s the great thing about life: we’re in the driver’s seat, and there are more roads available to us with every turn.
You may be racking your brain, wondering where it all went wrong. That’s where we come in. When you sign up for a Deferral Review, the experts at College Essay Advisors will review your application essays to help you understand the ways in which your application could’ve been stronger. The bad news is that, like Cher, we can’t turn back time and help you improve your essays before hitting submit months ago. The good news is that we can help you transform your writing in time to submit stellar applications to the remaining schools on your list.
We can also help you write a deferral letter that will have admissions officers kicking themselves, wondering why they didn’t admit you the first time around.
Brown invites deferred applicants to upload letters of continued interest through the Brown Applicant Portal if you have a significant update to share. Your personal CEA Advisor will help you draft a letter that succinctly updates admissions on your recent accomplishments and effectively reconfirms your interest in the institution (“If you accept me, I will attend!”). This letter needs to be concise and compelling in order to give you a leg up on your competition.
Our years of highly specialized experience empower applicants to write essays and letters that not only stand out, but also increase the likelihood of acceptance. Our success rate speaks for itself, and working with CEA can propel you to make your college dreams a reality.
