[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, very few Brown undergrads are on campus in the summer, so that wasn't the true vibe.[/quote]

+1.  What are weird comment.  The “vibe” was from random high school students enrolled in a summer program, only a fraction of whom will even get into Brown for college.[/quote]

PP here.   Oh trust me...DS would definitely be in the running...he will pass though.[/quote]

Good for you. And your imagination.

No one is a lock at any of these colleges. Your DS may be qualified but that is no guarantee of admissions. I've seen a lot of flukes (rejected at Brown and accepted at Harvard to use as an example).

I also agree it's silly to reject a school solely due to a summer high school camp  :roll: If he didn't like the campus or Providence that would be one thing but he was a bit silly to reject the school solely based on the other high school kids at that camp. [/quote]

Not my imagination at all.  I know DS's stats and the stats at Brown for admission.  Also DH spent a lot of time at Brown and was an associate professor of medicine there and has many Brown/RI connections, which is why we sent him there to check it out.  He did not like it, but made some friends.  For the most part, he did not like the "political correctness" of it all.  He has views that he did not express because of how liberal the environment is. DS has political and moral views that are frowned upon at Brown.  There are plenty of alternatives that he has his sights on...
