[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have any thoughts or opinions on Browning? It has been described to me as a "warm and welcoming school" that is not very academically rigorous (which the college emissions stats would seem to bear out).[/quote] Looking at the matriculation, yeah, it's not super impressive, but not horrible either. I saw 2 went on to MIT. Connecticut College (4) George Washington University (4) University of St. Andrews (4) American University (3) Emory University (3) Fordham University (3) University of Hartford (3) SUNY - Binghamton University (3) [b]University of Pennsylvania (3)[/b] Syracuse University (3) Trinity College (3) Bard College (2) Boston College (2) Boston University (2) [b]Brown University (2)[/b] [b]Cornell University (2) [/b] Elon University (2) Fairfield University (2) Lehigh University (2) [b]Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2)[/b] CUNY - City College (2) CUNY - Hunter College (2) SUNY - University at Albany (2) SUNY - University at Buffalo (2) SUNY - Purchase (2) Pennsylvania State University (2) University of Richmond (2) Southern Methodist University (2) Union College (2) Adelphi University Arcadia University Babson College Bates College Berklee College of Music University of Bridgeport Bryant University Butler University University of California - Santa Barbara University of California - Santa Cruz Carnegie Mellon University Case Western Reserve University College of Charleston University of Chicago Claremont McKenna College Colby College Colgate University [b]Dartmouth College[/b] University of Delaware Dickinson College Duke University Ecole Hoteliere Lausanne Franklin & Marshall College Georgetown University Glion Institute of Higher Education Hamilton College [b]Harvard University[/b] Illinois State University Istituto Europeo di Design James Madison University Kenyon College Lafayette College Lewis & Clark College University of Miami Middlebury College New England Conservatory of Music CUNY - Brooklyn College CUNY - Hostos Community College CUNY - John Jay College SUNY - Geneseo SUNY - Stony Brook University New York University Northeastern University Oxford College Peabody Institute University of Pittsburgh Pratt Institute of Technology Quinnipiac University Reed College Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Robert Morris University Rochester Institute of Technology University of Rochester St. John's University[/quote] To be frank, if you look beyond the Top Tier schools (Horace Mann, Chapin, Riverdale, Collegiate, Dalton, Brearley, Trinity, Spence) the Second Tier schools like Browning and Friends are only one notch below those top schools and gaining admission is not that difficult as long as your child has a B average. I will say Friends will be more difficult than Browning. [/quote] Not sure how many notches below, but here is the five year matriculation for Dalton.
