Brown University Computer Science Graduate School Admission Results

Applied to Environmental track and Latin American history track with an MA in History. Got an email to check the portal with decision.

ignore status. congrats to all the brown history admits, did you get interviews prior? and did have a POI before applying?

Nice surprise - wasn't expecting to hear back for another 2 weeks, based on previous years.

Got a wonderful call from one of the professors in the department! Super stoked. 1a/0w/0r/7p

Email for invitation for virtual interviews on 12/16/2022.

For Fall 2023. Did not take GRE. Undergrad institution: UC Berkeley (California community college transfer, first-gen, and re-entry student). Undergraduate Degree: B.A. in Psychology. Two years of experience in a systems neuroscience lab as an undergrad (completed my honors thesis in this lab). Six months of experience so far in a cognitive neuroscience lab at UC Berkeley (where I currently work as a lab manager & research assistant. Graduated in December 2021). No publications yet. Currently working on a poster abstract (mentioned this in personal statement).

For fall 2023. Brown gave multiple January dates to choose from for virtual interview.

Have anyone heard back from Brown? And out of curiosity, is anyone still waitlisted but haven't received the “top candidate” email? I'm trying to gauge how long is the waitlist…

Just a note to use the portal. They did have like over 800 submissions and only accepted 5. I figured it was a long shot. I read some work of someone who was accepted, and it was amazing. No regrets and definitely feel like BU made the right choice! I did get into the university of my choice though, so I'm super pleased. (No. Brown was not my first choice. I know it's weird)
