Eh, from what I know people who do well, and who plan well ahead of time, are able to do a 5-year Sci B./M.S. within the CS department. But there’s a whole slew of other options for grad school. Whatever route you go, though, Brown’s CS department seems to have a ton of connections (undergrads who started companies, undergrads hired in top companies, faculty at other universities, companies working with our faculty on projects, etc.).

tnedifnocegelloc: Sorry I didn’t look at the stats, I was going based on the anecdotal evidence I’ve heard from upperclassmen. And from what I’ve heard, a lot of the brightest people coming out of Brown’s CS department are looking for top jobs, rather than going straight into grad school. I guess a lot of them end up coming back for more education, something I wasn’t really aware of (though I’m sure some of them are pursuing a graduate degree in something other than CS).
