2025-2026 Brown Secondary Essay Prompts

**There appear to be some typos with regards to the application year (ie listing 2024-2025 instead of 2025-2026). With this caveat, please keep an eye out if Brown addresses this through an e-mail**

1. Do you have significant limitations on your interview availability for the 2024-2025 admissions cycle? (Assume they meant 2025-2026) 500 characters

NOTE: Interviews occur on Thursday’s and/or Friday’s beginning in mid-September and finishing in February. Please detail any significant limitations on your availability during this time, such as international travel, work or courses. You may use the text box below to explain your limited availability. (if none, leave blank)

2. Summarize your activities during the 2024-2025 academic year. Describe how your activities are preparing you for a medical career. (Again, I think they meant 2025-2026) 2000 characters

3. How will your unique attributes, life experiences, and interests add to The Warren Alpert Medical School community? 2000 characters

4. Reflect on a non-academic situation when you had to change course, and how you did so. 3000 characters

Good luck to all applying!

Received an invitation for the secondary, but they left out the Brown ID needed to activate your account. IT department said they are working on it though!

I logged onto the Brown secondaries site, and the top left corner the name of the applicant was not my name, and it seems the applicant has already filled in some parts of the application. It seems the site's bugged with a different applicant logged in, and when I try to log out it won't let me.

Tried logging in again through a different browser and it seems my account information is linked to the other student's account (logging in with my credentials takes me to their login). Will call Brown tomorrow about this. Is anyone else having these issues?
 
Verified in early June, still no secondary. Should I email them?
 
What would you put in the Alternative Courses prompt? Do you just simply put some extra coursework or treat it like another essay prompt to talk about research and stuff?
 
Does a research experience count as non-academic. I want to use story when i was during research for question #4 but am afraid research may be considered academic.
 
my portal says "Summarize your activities during this academic year." safe to assume they mean 25-26 right?

I think it does mean 25-26, but I submitted a response this when the portal said "2024-2025," which I believe was outdated. Hopefully they don't penalize for those that answered the original prompt.
 
Is it okay for the essay on "Reflect on a non-academic situation when you had to change course, and how you did so" to be about something general or should it be a specific instance?
