Brown vs Penn Huntsman

Applying to College
1

I’m a junior right now, but am deciding between applying early to Brown or to Penn Huntsman. I’m a huge fan of both schools, but am not sure which would be the best choice. Huntsman obviously would give me a double degree while in Brown it’s only one degree, but I hear that the atmosphere at Brown is better than Penn’s?

Opinions, anyone?

<p>if you want to go into international business, Huntsman no question.</p>

<p>huntsman is ridiculously hard to get into as are any of upenn's dual degree programs.</p>

<p>You make it sound as though Huntsman were on equal grounds with Brown (though some could argue the colleges are equal). Huntsman is extremely, extremely, selective, and you'll be extremely lucky if you get in. I would suggest you apply there early if you really want it, since Huntsman is very difficult ED and nearly impossible RD, while getting in RD vs ED won't be that much harder at Brown</p>

<p>huntsman is REALLY REALLY difficult to get into, whereas Brown is not nearly as difficult. Huntsman is the same level of HYPSM (maybe harder, depends) while Brown is just a middle-level ivy.</p>

<p>I'm not at all suggesting that they are at the same level. I know that Huntsman is 10000000x harder to get into than Brown. But what I'm not sure of is whether I'd enjoy the competitive atmosphere at Huntsman (I'm guessing it's pretty competitive) vs the more supportive atmosphere at Brown (or so alumni tell me). Do I want to go to a pre-professional school, or a school where it's really supportive and is more liberal? That's what I'm worried about. :-)</p>

<p>Many people on this board turned down Harvard for Huntsman. I have come to believe that they are comparable in selectivity.</p>
