Brown (no aid) vs. Amherst ( aid)

@CHD2013: I was essentially writing a reaction to the presumption of Brown being clearly superior, but perhaps not worth the price. Brown has a 5 point lower inferred SAT average than Amhert. Yes, that means the scores of the two schools are equivalent by any reasonable standard. But if the point were pressed, I’d say it’s Brown that has the – slightly – tougher claim to greater academic consistency among its students in a comparison between the schools.
