Why are so many more women applying?

Being perceived as a friendlier school I think is part of that. I think more women applicants get the feeling when they visit etc that, unlike some of it’s counterparts, Brown really doesn’t have any longer any lingering sexist divide from the “old boy network”. At least the women I know very closely who have applied there in the past few years, as well as other Ivies etc have told me that. No one has told me it was because the men at Brown were better looking, although I have heard that they are “nicer”. :)
