[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are twice as many women applying to Brown compared to men? Maybe Brown should work on attracting more male applicants so it has a better shot at gender balancing.[/quote]

Because most smart men are interested in engineering and finance these days, and Brown isn't particularly strong in either.

And one of the big reasons smart men are interested in engineering and finance today is because they want to be able to provide for their eventual families. Not every boy can study art history at Brown or Swarthmore and feel confident they can make a go at life. Soft majors for soft boys at soft schools.  [/quote]

Brown’s Division of Applied Mathematics is one of the top programs in the world.
It is consistently ranked Top 5–10 globally for applied math. Brown pioneered modern applied mathematics, especially PDEs, dynamical systems, and stochastic processes.

Faculty include some of the most cited researchers in the field. The culture of interdisciplinary math is connected to: Computer science (algorithms, machine learning), Engineering, Physics (fluids, statistical mechanics), Biology and medicine (biomath, systems biology)

It’s very rigorous but flexible and has Strong pipeline into top PhD programs. There are plenty of opportunities to do research early with small group faculty seminars.

They also have PLME with direct entry into their Med school.

Unfortunately Brown struggles in its reputation as the "easy" ivy and weak in stem. It also ranks very poorly globally as a research university compared to the stem ivies and Stanford, Berkeley, Uwash, etc. Given that it has a medical school, it should rank higher for research but does not. 
Research dollars matter for stem as well as global industry reputation. It is a shame, but true.[/quote]
