Schools like Brown, but less selective?

I disagree with most of pierre’s list. Yes, Amherst has an open curriculum, and yes most of the other schools are urban, but that doesn’t mean that they’re very similar to Brown. I’d argue that BC, BU, Cornell and Dartmouth especially attract very different people from those who are usually attracted to Brown. NYU and Northwestern, maybe.

The OP isn’t asking for incredibly safe schools, and her stats are strong enough for any school in the country. If she likes Smith and Wesleyan, other schools I’d recommend she look into are Oberlin, Vassar, and Macalester. I’d actually strongly suggest Macalester for someone who likes Brown, as it’s small, urban, and artsy. I’d say Mac is a low match for the OP.
