[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]My husband had a recent grad from Brown who graduated Summa and was so incompetent he had to fire her after six months.[/quote]

Nice fairy tale. Brown abolished summa at least 40 years ago. [/quote]

Agree, this is total BS.  My DS just graduated magna cum laude from Brown.  Magna cum laude (top 10%) is the only Latin honors Brown awards.  13 Brown students were accepted to Harvard Law School this year, btw.  [/quote]

That’s nice, they’ll find somewhere between 50 and 80 of their classmates went to Harvard college.[/quote]

Some may find this comment helpful as to why one might choose Brown. [/quote]

Actually, that’s 13 planning to attend. 38 accepted but going elsewhere with Yale and Stanford generally more likely to be first choices. My DC who just graduated from Brown is going to Yale Law School and was also accepted at HLS.[/quote]

That’s impressive as YLS typically admits fewer than 2 dozen students per year directly from undergrad with no work experience

With only 22 or so such students in the country, I would be surprised if any undergraduate institution had more than one or two such students[/quote]

+1. Only 11% of Yale’s incoming law school comes straight from college so I doubt the post. Especially because they claimed admission at both Yale AND Harvard. These law schools are notorious for yield protection. If they know mom or dad went to Harvard, you will be waitlisted at Chicago and Yale. If grandpa taught at Yale LA you will be wautlisted at Harvard, etc. if they know mom has given money to Harvard Law you won’t even get an interview at UVA.[/quote]
