<p>My son’s computer science teacher thinks acceptance rates at Brown are higher for those that apply to the computer vs. liberal arts program. I think I am hoping against hope, but does anyone have any factual or anecdotal evidence to support this? Thanks.</p>
<p>Brown has a “computer” program? If it’s based on majors no it’s not true. If Brown has a different undergrad schools it may very well be true.</p>
<p>Brown is looking for students interested in the sciences, and I think computer science is included. The acceptance rate is higher for boys than girls, too, by 3-4 percentage points, because so few boys are applying. So, yes, your son’s chances may be slightly higher.</p>
