I guessed about legacy status as I said and am glad you aren’t a legacy there. If so, then you have a better shot at transferring to other similarly ranked schools. If you were legacy then your chance would be lower since that would have factored into the original acceptance. And my comment about the list of employees was to the short list that the posted included initially. It was not very telling. But even with the longer list, job placement does not necessary tell you about the relative merits of one training program over another. Graduates of a school with a marginal engineering or CS program (and I’m not saying Brown is like that) relative to schools that specialize in engineering or CS could still get great jobs if the school has a strong overall acceptance rater. I’m surprised posters don’t agree that engineering and computer science at Brown is less strong then at some of the other schools the OP inquired about.
“It is job placement data for econ/cs concentrators, which is a very small group.” right.
Johns Hopkins is not just for BME. Their computer engineering program is very strong and stronger than Brown’s. Their CS is comparable to Brown’s. Why wouldn’t you consider Hopkins?
