Every year, Brown graduates get into prestigious grad schools. Despite all this whispering about the problems of a Brown education, somehow Brown students seem to do quite well.
musktard, I have never heard any Brown students complain that going to Brown affected their ability to get into a grad school. Honestly, this is just absurd.
I have no idea what my daughter’s GPA is – Brown doesn’t calculate it, she never calculated it (she couldn’t care less) and I couldn’t calculate it because I don’t know her grades. I do know that she got a fair share of Bs, so she probably has a below-average GPA for Brown. But she has gotten into 4 top-ranked grad schools and is waiting to hear from 2 more; one of the programs she got into is highly selective – it accepts fewer than 30 students.
