<p>Booyou,</p>
<p>You were barking up the wrong tree. I said having the freedom doesn’t translate to rigor. That does <em>not</em> mean I think having a core or distribution requirements means rigor. </p>
<p>You got defensive and went on and on about how Brown students are driven and self-motivated. That’s all great but it still doesn’t necessarily mean Brown’s science/math are particularly more (or less) challenging.</p>

Based on imperfect information. I am sure admitted applicatns in other peer schools got similarly high maturity ratings in their recommendation letters. I am also pretty sure other peer schools value maturity seriously (who doesn’t?). I highly doubt Brown students are any more (or less) mature than those in other peer schools.</p>
