[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the M in HYPMS? [/quote]

That was my question.

Because if it is Michigan, that school is not in that tier.

Michigan is in the Notre Dame - Northwestern - U of Chicago -Brown - etc grouping, definitely not HYPS.

If is MIT, that is a whole different story[/quote]

This discussion is about academic quality AND difficulty of admission. How to get max academic quality without the insanely difficult admissions standards. So while Brown might offer academics similar to Notre Dame & Mich, it’s much harder to get into. So Brown would seem to be the opposite of what the OP wants. [/quote]

DP.  I would say Brown's academics are commensurate with its admissions selectivity. Same with other Ivies (except maybe sime aspects of Cornell, since it is so big). Quality of education there is outstanding.  I don't know why anyone would lump Brown in with larger schools like Mich or Notre Dame that have more variable academic standards. That is wishful thinking by boosters from those schools.[/quote]
