<p>Jonri, sure, it may be the generous P/F system that contributes to the high GPAs, but so what? The object for law school is to earn a high GPA. Period. (Law schools don’t care how it is obtained.)</p>
<p>btw: A big Brown supporter (and alum) has posted on cc that even many of Brown’s STEM classes have an A- average. That just does not occur anywhere else.</p>
<p>According to IPEDS, bio sci is the largest group of concentrators are Brown. The Arts is less than half of that number. Econ majors outnumber The Arts concentrators.
Ditto Math concentrators.</p>
<p>In sum, Brown is not much different than it’s Ivy colleague, Dartmouth, but yet has a much, much higher mean GPA. Great for professional school apps, in which Brownies do extremely well.</p>
<p>The point is that the average student at Brown is much better off than the average student at Dartmouth or Duke when applying for med/law schools.</p>

<p>Seriously? (If no one takes them, then they must not exist? And if they don’t exist, it would be the only college in the country without 'em? btw: what classes do the football and hockey players take?)</p>
