Is Brown hot at your child's school?

[Anonymous]

You guys are all crazy. Brown is not a bad school. You're acting like it is tier 3 community college or something.
Thank goodness your kids will be able to go somewhere...anywhere...and escape you. Crazy parents.

+1 Nobody on this thread went to an ivy. People that actually attended ivies couldn't care less about this nonsense.

They’re not insecure parents. They’re insecure high school kids with unfounded agendas. I remember this quite well from my application days decades ago. I remember there was a lot of bashing of Yale and claims that Yale was in perpetual decline because it’d gotten too liberal and dangerous.

DC will be overjoyed to get into Brown.

Why exactly? Without saying cliche bs like "open curriculum" and "the main green/Providence is so pretty".

Don't know - it's DC's decision. Open curriculum is a good thing in DC's view. DC did like the main green. DC thought that the students seemed the most relaxed, friendly, and interesting. Small sample obviously, but enough to move Brown to the top of the list for DC. (Compared to Yale, Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, Duke, Cornell, Amherst, and several other schools that DC either toured or actually spent time at in conferences, etc.).

Not sure that Brown has the rigor and academic verve of the Top Ivies.

Brown is almost considered a safety at GDS.

The GDS kids who don't make it to Harvard can settle for Brown.

This is just silly. You can find a wide range of rigor at many schools certainly including Brown and whatever "academic verve" is I tend to think they'll be ok.

GDS kids place a bunch of other ivies in between Harvard and Brown. (More or less all of them other than Cornell tbh). It is not like Brown is the second choice after Harvard for most.

Another extremely weak troll. Try harder please.
