[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brown and Duke have very different cultures. Is your kid more preppy (Duke) or more crunchy/granola(Brown)? Dies your kid like watching sports and want a school with a lot of spirit in the traditional sense of the word (Duke)? Does your kid get really stressed about school and therefore would benefit from Brown's more lax grading policy?

Both are great schools but they are super different. [/quote]

Brown does not have a “more lax grading policy”, Wtf  that is.  You made that up.[/quote]

Brown is well known for its lax grading system

From your own article:

"Grade inflation is not unique to Brown. Students across the country in a wide range of higher-education institutions have transcripts that tend to have higher grades than their counterparts decades prior."

Try and read what you post.[/quote]

I think you ought to read what you write. I never said that Brown was the only school with grade inflation but it clearly leads the pack with its multiple grading options and the opportunity to change from one option to another. Did you graduate from Brown? I hope not because you would reflect badly on Brown[/quote]
