Just out of curiosity, how did you come up with these two very different schools? And have you been accepted yet? If you haven’t been accepted I wouldn’t worry about choosing yet (especially since Brown’s acceptance rate is under 10%)… And if you got into Brown then isn’t the school ED so you would need to attend unless it is not financially viable? If you are not into Brown ED, it seems to me that other choices like Penn, URochester to name a couple might be worthwhile looking into.
