<p>My friend went to Brown as an undergrad. When we was applying for law schools in 1979, she was told by some adcoms that the narrative grading system used by Brown made it difficult for them to deal with/compare students. She took a year off & reapplied to law school on the West Coast & attended UCDavis with me where she did great. I don’t know if this attitude still applies to East Coast law schools, but it might be worthwhile inquiring with Brown & some law schools you were thinking of, to the extent it matters to you.</p>
