> application procedure

Brown applicants are asked to meet with the on-campus selection committee for an interview to discuss their interest in the program; they will be contacted shortly after the deadline. Students from other schools will also be contacted to arrange for individual interviews, which may be conducted by telephone. Applications are reviewed by the selection committee, and then by the Urban Education Semester Director at Bank Street and the Director of the Engaged Life Partnership at Brown University, who make final decisions. A group of 7-14 participants are selected each semester. Students are notified of decisions approximately four weeks after the application deadline.
