Are ED Applications to NU on par with Ivies?

<p>Brown Common Data Set 2011-2012 SAT scores for entering class was:
CR 660-750 Math 680-770 Writing 670-770 – not sure where you get your data from</p>

<p>US NEWS 2013 undergrad teaching rankings–Brown tied for #4 with Yale; NU-- not ranked</p>

<p>US NEWS HS Guidance Counselor Rankings–Brown #9; NU #17</p>

<p>Parchment College Rankings Student Choice 2013–based on multiple thousands of applicants-- Brown#7; NU #37</p>

<p>Newsweek Top 25 Most Braniac Colleges Based on awards of prestigious scholarships from 2001 to 2011 Brown #5–after Y,H,P,S; NU – not ranked (rhodes,goldwater, fullbrights, etc)</p>

<p>Brown 2011 acceptance rate = 9%; NU- 18%</p>

<p>Princeton Review Survey 2012, 2011, 2010–Dream Colleges Brown in top 10; NU – not ranked; </p>

<p>This discussion Board is geared to undergrad applicants-- so it is pointless to talk about NU grad and professional programs. As for endowments, NU has an endowment almost 3 times that of Brown, but NU student body is more than 3 times the size.</p>

<p>This data supports my view that NU not a peer of Brown in the areas where they compete-- for undergrad students. Interestingly, while NU has a larger (and higher ranked) Med School for research, Brown Med is ranked higher for primary care. Brown has no law or business school, but its relatively small grad school is quite strong in many academic areas-- eg creative writing, applied math, neuroscience, among others. </p>
