[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing is for sure, Brown was way overrated at #9 last year.  Bad for many stem majors.[/quote]

Disagree if we're thinking undergraduate. Brown is excellent for STEM. PLME + top notch CS and excellent math and neuroscience. Doesn’t have the grad associated research that some of the other top schools have because it is just more focused on undergraduate,  which is great IMO. I have a kid there.[/quote]

Their other engineering programs are extremely meh.  Lots of better options for CS as well.[/quote]

Sigh… you have no idea what you are talking about.  Brown’s CS department is legendary, especially WRT computer graphics.  Google Andy Van Dam and the founders of a little company called Pixar.[/quote]

i work for google and no it’s not as respected as MIT, Princeton, Penn, Cornell, Illinois, Harvard, Michigan, Caltech, Berkeley, UCLA, amongst a slew of other schools.

You actually dont know wtf you are talking about.[/quote]

That’s not what you said.  You said there were “lots of better options”.  Not “10”.  You slagged the school without knowing it’s strong suit.  If you knew what you were talking about you would have mentioned CMU before Princeton.  And IMHO Brown CS is more impressive than U of I or UCLA and equal to Michigan’s.

And I have hired programmers for 30 years so your brag is not impressive to me.[/quote]

i named 10 out of many many more.  Brown CS is ranked 23rd for undergrad by US News, and that's generous.

No, Brown CS is not as impressive as Michigan or U of I.[/quote]

Well that’s great since they are much easier admits. It’s near impossible to get into Brown now.[/quote]

much easier? hardly

U of I CS has a 6.7% acceptance rate. Now imagine out of state
