<p>nupspr made a very good point regarding selectivity:
I had never thought of it that way. It makes sense that Brown would attract a lot of applications from less qualified students using it as an ivy reach. They get rejected, and it makes the school look more selective. On the other hand, students going for ivy status, will often pass up applying to NU.</p>
<p>And keenya2006, I agree… Sam Lee, you consistently bring excellent information and a great attitude to this forum. I really appreciate it.</p>
