[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here: seeing so many suggesting Brown and Chicago; aren’t they polar opposite schools in terms of culture and intensity? Not criticizing- just want to clarify b/c our DC is also trying to put a list together[/quote] My Brown student also liked UChicago very much, but did not apply as they were only willing to do regular decision so figured it was a waste. Brown has a heavily parroted misconception online, students are very academic and passionate about what they are interested in and taking courses of your choosing makes all students engaged thus upping the bar. The grading system fuels this, but that is also very misunderstood and not the reality of how 99% of students operate (S/NC all classes). It's meant to encourage exploration and make connections and not be burdened with grade fear in making class selections so you can take risks. They select for kids that will utilize it productively and that is evident in their supplementals.[/quote]
