Yes there is and Brown is it.  But I can't imagine not choosing it in this circmstance.[/quote]

Brown is more selective than Penn, as well as Dartmouth and Cornell[/quote]

Still the bottom feeder rep wise.[/quote]

LOL

The Brown bashing on this board is funny. Maybe it stems from conservatives who hew to the outdated stereotype of Brown as a crazy liberal outlier? As the academy has gone farther and farther left, Brown is longer ideologically different from most other highly selective schools - 15 years ago it was radically progressive when Brown grappled with its history as a slave-owning institution, now Georgetown, Harvard, Yale and others are following suit. Brown retains its open curriculum and Pass/Fail option for every course. Once upon a time, maybe that fostered laziness, but today there are no lazy kids getting into Brown or any other highly selective school.

My sense of the original post is that it's a troll. But if it's not, then my advice is to have your daughter get into Brown first, and then worry about this "problem" - fewer than 8% of female applicants are accepted.
