is this usually possible for a determined/good student? considering brown's an ivy and in new england....OR would duke undergrad -> harvard grad be easier?
Harvard grad schools accept students from colleges all over the country, from Ivies down to small midwestern LACs and state colleges you never heard of. There is no benefit from either Brown or Duke when it comes to getting into grad schools. And yes, there are plenty of Brown -- and Duke -- alums at Harvard.
My seventh grade science teacher went Brown->Harvard. I think she was planing some sort of career in biomedical research and needed something to do in Chicago while her husband got an MBA at Northwestern.
