<p>Which one’s more prestigious and why?</p>
<p>This belongs on the main Brown thread. This thread is to talk about stuff pertaining specifically to the Brown class of 2010. If you move it or re-post, more people will see it and respond. :)</p>
<p>this depends on what you associate prestige with and i'm admittedly biased. still...</p>
<p>in new england, williams has a rep for being a place full of rich, WASPy, jocks. outside of new england, few people have heard of williams.</p>
<p>brown has its own stereotypes but seems to enjoy a broader appeal, with thousands of applications from all over the world and every walk of life. it is more commonly listed as a "dream school", and wins >80% of cross-admits w/ williams</p>
<p>Actually, I've seen the cross-admit data. It's more like 55/45 in favor of Brown.</p>
<p>id say for those in the know, they are equally prestigious, although brown might be a tad harder to get into</p>
