[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How good is Brown when it comes to post grad opportunities compared to the other Ivys? DD is deciding between Brown or Rice.[/quote]

Both a great schools but Rice is regional/local in a way that Brown is not.  Look at percent of students from Texas and also focus on Texas related industries, like oil and gas.   [/quote]

Rice is not local!?! Not even regional.[/quote]

Depending on which source you use 35%-49% of the students at Rice are from Texas. That is what makes it regional,  its network is highly concentrated by region and industry due to this.  In contrast at Brown, all of the New England states combined, MA, CT, RI, NH, ME, VT on the high side add up to 23%.   [/quote]

If you add in NY and NJ my guess is you get to at least 35% for Brown. I see your point but I don’t think Brown has many/any TX employers recruiting there. So both are regional in their own way. But if you prefer the northeast to TX, that is definitely a good reason to pick Brown!!![/quote]
