[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in the District Mon-Thurs and our main residence is in Metro Detroit. Daughter likes UMich but believes too many students from her h.s. matriculate so it ends up being h.s. 2.0. She plans to specifically target Brown and would attend UMich if rejected. But if she's accepted to both, is Brown worth the extra $120K? I'm on the fence.[/quote]

I'm a recent Brown grad. What does she want to do after undergrad? Brown has some great programs, such as applied math, but if she's interested in engineering, Caltech is the place to go imo. Brown has the pmle program which includes med school. I know Ann Arbor has a great literature grad program. For job prospects, please take a look at the employment data. Same for law school. Is Yale Law admitting more people from Brown or Michigan? For example, GS IB recruits only from certain programs. The only people I know doing the open curriculum or self made concentration are the ones with over $100M trust funds. The rest of us, who had to get jobs, go to grad schools, followed the BA / BS requirements, which are pretty strict, and took graded classes. It's true that a lot of people found their spouses at Brown including myself and I think it's true of a lot of undergraduate schools. Can your family afford the $120k without putting a burden on your other kids' education funds and your retirement? [/quote]
