Business, Entrepreneurship, and Organizations

You should complete secondary school. Brown first-year students will have completed 12 to 13 years of primary and secondary schooling.

National and International Examinations

You should plan to sit for national and international examinations, such as the GCE A-levels, German Abitur, French Baccalauréat, Chinese Gaokao and International Baccalaureate and submit the predicted or actual scores for those examinations as part of your credentials for admission to Brown. We expect the actual scores to be submitted before matriculation. At the time of application, you and your school should submit a request in writing if you are in a national curriculum but are not planning on taking the corresponding external examinations.

Begin by creating an account on the Common Application website. Once registered, you will need to add Brown University to your list of colleges by the College Search tab.

The Common Application is divided into three sections:

1. Information common to all the schools to which you are applying
2. Brown University specific questions
3. School forms submitted by your school counselor and academic instructors
