<p>Brown doesn’t have a “narrative grading system” – I’m not sure what this means. It doesn’t calculate GPA, but you get grades on a transcript.</p>
<p>If you want structure to your education, you can do that at Brown. It’s pretty obvious what distribution requirements mean at other schools, and you can take those classes at Brown if you want to. What’s nice about Brown is that it is your choice to make.</p>
<p>The education you’ll get will be excellent in both schools – you simply can’t go wrong. There isn’t such a thing as “pre-law” – you can major in anything and get into law school. As for the flexibility of the Dartmouth schedule – that may be true. Of course, it’s unclear given this economy who is hiring now anyway. </p>
<p>Not to mention that there is no guarantee that in four years you will still want to go to law school. I would hesitate to select a college on that factor alone. Most students change their majors and career plans in college.</p>
