<p>I was wondering which grad schools were popular among Brown undergraduate students.
Is it true that if you go to an ivy for undergrad, it is harder to go to an ivy for grad school?</p>
<p>"Is it true that if you go to an ivy for undergrad, it is harder to go to an ivy for grad school?"</p>
<p>No. There is no truth to that whatsoever.</p>
<p>Sometimes its hard to go to the same school for grad school -- like Princeton usually doesn't accept many of its own students (though its not a haven of grad schools either, but mostly an undergraduate institution). But I'm sure others would be more likely to take you if you were their student...I think going to an ivy can only help you.</p>
<p>Thanks for your inputs:)
Does anyone know where a lot of Brown undergrads go after they graduate?</p>
<p>I know that we're considered a "feeder school" for Harvard law which I think means we send more than 30 a year, but that statistic may be off a little.</p>
<p>I would assume simply the top schools in the country :)</p>
<p>It depends entirely upon what people are studying as different schools have different programs. Harvard law is indeed popular, but I don't know of any other striking trends other than that those who do well at Brown (and usually those who want to go on to grad school do) can contend for spots in some of the best programs in the world.</p>
<p>One trend that there IS is that a TON of grads always end up in New York. This is probably true for many schools in the Northeast, so I don't know how unique it is to Brown, but as far as grad schools go that means that a lot of med and law and arts students (and maybe other programs too, I'm not sure) end up applying to and attending places in NYC. The Brown-to-NYC jump probably accounts for at least a quarter if not a third of the graduating classes I've known.</p>
<p>By NYC, do you mean NYU or other schools like Columbia?
I'm personally thinking about NYU Stern for grad, so it would be encouraging if a lot of Brown students went on to NYU grad schools..
(But first I have to accomplish the difficult task of getting into Brown as an undergrad:) )</p>
<p>I mean NYC as in the whole city, not just NYU. I do know a handful of students who are at NYU in Stern, Tisch, and med and law school, and I'm sure there are many more that I don't know. But there are TONS of students in NY in general and at lots of other grad schools throughout the city. I also know students at Mt. Sinai, Fordham, Columbia, Weill Cornell, and many others. I think that as far as similar-mindedness goes, some of the NYU grad programs are comparable in academic spirit to Brown, but with nothing but hearsay and friends' anecdotes to go on, it's hard to say for certain.</p>
