@goingnutsmom I have been given the impression that ED doesn’t help for Brown (although I know it does for Vanderbilt) but it would be nice to know early and even if I get a possible disadvantage I believe they defer about 60% of ED applicants so I don’t think it would affect my chances all that much.
@mamaedefamilia thank you for your response! Is Brown actively phasing out greek life? I thought it was just small. I am actually applying to Wash U, but I don’t like its campus and several of the other things I know about it as much as I like the same things at Vandy.
If you’re interested, my non-academic “wishlist” of sorts is
*Near or in a city, but with most life on campus
*Preferably, most students live on campus
*Minimal core requirements
*Medium size (5000-8000 ish)
*Housing system (a la Harvard/Yale or Vandy’s first year housing system)
*Not too cold
*Fun campus traditions
*Good sports to warch (football or baseball, I don’t like basketball)
As you might be able to see better from this, Vanderbilt hits more of these points but I still think I like Brown better, so I think that’s where my dilemma is coming from.
