<p>Brown’s 75th percentile SAT is now 1520, so I would view its difficulty of acceptance as roughly comparable to Swarthmore or Amherst, especially with the huge number of apps Brown receives based on its participation in a particular athletic conference. However, so much depends on the individual applicant. </p>
<p>I think there is more opportunity for an individual to positively influence his or her odds at Swarthmore and Amherst due to the scale of the admissions operation and the importance of fit at small LACs.</p>
