[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All true, but Yale is still leagues (no pun intended) above Brown. [/quote]

Leagues ahead?  I don't know about that.  
Brown is sort of having a moment right now.  This gen Z crowd seems to really like what brown has to offer.
I don't know if it will accelerate, or die off, but right now brown is very popular among the same crowd that might have been attracted to yale a generation ago.

I thought requiring test scores would hurt brown among that crowd but it doesn't seem to have hurt them.[/quote]

It is extremely popular with young women but I don't know why.  What does it have that other schools don't?[/quote]

This is what resonated with mine, mega overachiever that worked hard during school, and the concept of being able to have a collaborative environment after all the competition is a breath of fresh air. The open curriculum allows for risk, curiosity, and makes for a high level of engagement classroom. This makes things more rigorous, not less, they’re all studying things they care about. The ethos seems to be explore, be curious, take risks, and make interdisciplinary connections to solve problems.

I’m sure an equally compelling case could be made for Columbia and their core curriculum forcing students to dive into all areas to become more developed minds. No right or wrong, just different approaches.[/quote]

I get the appeal of those things but they don't really explain why young women like Brown so much more than young men.[/quote]
