Translation: Rich kids' parents use their networks to make sure their spawn get great internships and jobs after college. Has nothing to do with Brown. Brown actually feels cash strapped and low resource once you're on campus.

and, yet, the ones I know graduated truly screwed up with new genders and absolutely nothing that an employer would think worth hiring. The "open" plan is really just a poorly thought out cafeteria model which I had at my own SLAC. That means you graduate without any sense of great books, cultural history, survey courses, and so on. Think carefully
Again, just because YOU misused an open curriculum to avoid challenges doesn't mean others do.
As mentioned, you get admitted to Brown by showing you are the kind of student who embraces the open curriculum in the spirit of its invention. The majority of Brown students do exactly that.
Won't repeat all the other stuff that's just a page or two back from the first time you posted this tripe.
