[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid at Brown and find the whole bit about students getting lost without guidance to be wildly overblown. Do you know who gets into Brown today? Kids that don't get into HYPMS but get in pretty much everywhere else they apply. Which means they have 1550 SATs, and unweighted 4.0s, and have demonstrated some kind of sustained commitment to an academic or extracurricular pursuit that sets them apart from the 1550/4.0 kids that don't get into Brown. These kids are highly motivated and accomplished. And now, suddenly, they're going to go off the rails because they have a choice of any course they want instead of having to take some introductory geology course that fulfills their science core requirement? Our family's experience has been that Brown is a great environment for students, because the students have affirmatively opted in to every single class they are taking and are not just checking off a core requirement box.[/quote]
