Can a student apply Early Decision?
Students who wish to apply Early Decision to Brown may do so. If a student is accepted Early Decision to Brown, however, he or she must matriculate under the terms of the Early Decision policy regardless of the subsequent decision of the joint committee. A student may also apply Early Action to RISD if he or she is an applicant to the Dual Degree Program. Early notification of acceptance to the Dual Degree Program will take place beginning in February, after RISD has completed its evaluations of applicants under its Early Action plan. As is the case with the regular admissions process, a student may be admitted by both Brown and RISD and accepted to the joint program or deferred.
