[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How about he gets into both, or even one, and then we can discuss [/quote]

Even a kid who is a top student with excellent SAT scores & impressive extracurriculars is far from guaranteed admittance into both of these schools (unless perhaps he has a major hook -- i.e. Brown has a building named after one set of grandparents & Northwestern has a building named after the other). I'm really not trying to be snarky here, OP -- just realistic!

Honestly, you're not going to get any truly useful feedback without providing more information. What in particular does your DS like about each of these two schools? What are his GPA, class rank, & SAT scores scores like? What about extra curriculars? Does he have any "hooks" that might give him a bit of an edge in admissions (first generation college student, underrepresented minority, etc)? What kind of kid is he, personality wise, & what kinds of things is he interested in outside of school? Once we know these kinds of details, we might be able to provide some insight into whether or not Brown &/of Northwestern would be a good fit & also be able to recommend some other schools for him to look into.[/quote]
