Brown Admitted 1,623 Students to the Class of 2028

 Brown University admitted 1,623 regular decision applicants to the class of 2028. Its overall acceptance rate for this cycle is 5.2%, the third-lowest in Brown’s history.

This cohort is the first to be admitted since the Supreme Court severely restricted race-conscious admissions practices at universities nationwide. These students join 898 others admitted during early decision in December, bringing the total number of admitted students this year to 2,521.

Acceptance rates for Brown’s dual degree programs both saw among their largest applicant pools. The dual undergraduate-medical Program in Liberal Medical Education, or PLME, accepted just 76 of 4,251 applicants, and the Brown-RISD Dual Degree program accepted 20 of its 953 applicants.

“Once again, we were humbled by the breadth of perspective and depth of talent in the applicant pool,” Powell wrote in an email to The Herald. “Though there were necessary changes to some aspects of the admission process, we remained focused on our core values and mission — identifying students from a broad range of experiences with demonstrated academic excellence and the potential to make extraordinary contributions to the Brown community.”
