“In fact, too much emphasis on post college plans or a hint you’ll only be interested in career related, on campus, is an issue.”

The T20-25s, especially the ivies are a pipeline to banking and consultants, with econ or business being the most popular major and about half if not more of their grads go into careers like this. They take pride in placing their grads into high paying jobs, so I think the OP’s ECs are solid, however it does seem like a lot of unrelated items, to you point.

“he can just not be a fit at Brown, with the unique curriculum.”
Agree that I think is a bigger issue, while Brown may have a lot of econ majors who want to start high paying jobs after graduation and will attend college just for that, Brown doesn’t want applicants to get that impression.
