OP once again you are blessed to have two great options both of which will afford you a variety of career opportunities going forward. I will defer to others who are more informed and recent in their experiences at Penn to comment about your opportunity there.

Specific to Brown the CS kids seem to do well in terms of career opportunities…

“A comparison done on median early-career salary data of over 5 million graduates from the U.S. Department of Education’s College Scorecard resource, shows that one year after graduation, Brown CS bachelor’s degree graduates have a median salary of $141,100. The median debt of these graduates, at $12,871”

In addition, as you have pointed out the open curriculum will allow you to either customize a concentration or pursue the well traveled applied math/CS combo while adding an entrepreneurship certification if you desire.

Once again congratulations and good luck.
