[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]University of Chicago was so not hot in the 80s, it was an easy admit.  Brown was hot.[/quote]

Yes I remember Brown being very sought after and those who got in, highly thought of.[/quote]

Brown is still that way in California and NE. Only clueless striver wannabes dismiss it. 5% acceptance rate., hipster vibes, grade inflation.[/quote]

8% admissions rate. It's not in HYPSC territory yet.

Brown is invariably considered the bottom of the ivy league these days along with Cornell, it is nowhere near HYPSM. There are even several non-HYPSM schools have been consistently hotter than Brown in the past couple of decades (Columbia, Penn, Chicago, Duke). The relatively low acceptance rate is due to its reputation for being the easy ivy. Look at its yield rate, it is lower than HYPSM, Penn, Columbia and Dartmouth. As for the strengths of its departments, is it nowhere near that of the top 10 schools. [/quote]
