[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder at your thought process to be applying to these two schools, unless your DD is a serious mathematician (they both have outstanding math faculties/programs), but she's leaning to the "more fun Ivy" so that's unlikely.  On almost every other metric these two are diametrically opposed and cater to students with significant differences in outlook and objectives.  If you haven't taken the time & effort to make a visit to both campuses and interact with the professors and students in your anticipated area of studies, do it before making this decision - or just go with Brown.  The "investment" return comes from the commitment and effort of your student and not the school - if she pulls B-s in a non-STEM or a "studies" discipline she'll be a barrista or a low level gov't employee even with a degree from either school.  Want real "value"?  Go to the Honors college at the Public U that specializes in the discipline you want and work HARD.
