[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither school known for engineering. Decide on other factors.[/quote] This -- and, don't kid yourself -- engineering is not a flexible program anywhere, not even at Brown (a Brown admissions staffer said this to my DS after he was accepted there). For a STEM kid, data science might be a more flexible option at Brown. More important, though, Brown and Duke are very different in terms of culture. I know two students who transferred from Brown to Duke in the past couple of years because they didn't feel like Brown was a friendly place. One is a preppy sorority type with family roots in the south, so not surprising, but the other is a crunchy kid who plays club ultimate frisbee. Both are much happier at Duke. (And no, I'm not a Duke parent or alum, so no dog in this fight.) [/quote]
