Brown University to Review Legacy, Early Decision and Test-Optional Admissions

Brown University (RI) will review its admissions practices related to early decision and legacy applicants, as well as consider if it should require entrance exam scores or continue its test-optional policy. Christina Paxson, president of the Ivy League institution, told the campus Wednesday that the university formed a committee to consider changes to its admissions policies.  The committee — which includes Brown administrators, trustees and faculty members — will make recommendations before the spring term next year. Any changes to the university’s practices would take effect before next year’s admissions cycle.
