Using open curriculum to ignore boring courses?

Yes, but OP also started with “…ignore boring classes.” His choice of words. “I have 0 interest in humanities courses…” “I know exactly what I want to do in life.” Those don’t strike me as humble confusion. Nor openness looking for expression.

And then on 12/28, days before the deadline, this capper: “Brown’s math department sucks”

In a thread about Penn: “there is no particular reason why I would like to go to UPenn, other than the fact that it has a top math program.” “Am I really supposed to be an a$$ licker and tell the admissions comittee why their school is so great…” “Basically I can’t think of anything that UPenn college of arts and sciences math program offers that any other top university does not.” These statements ust doesn’t strike me as a kid who knows the schools well or his small part in the bigger world.

Imo, something is amiss. You can also look at the much earlier similar thread about a Caltech question.
