<p>I’d assume very successful, as we do get placements in top grad schools, but the majority of our top students don’t go to grad school, but instead go straight into the workforce. Meaning it’s more of our mid-tier students who’re going to the top grad schools, rather than the very top candidates we have. As people have repeatedly told me, for going to grad school a 3.4 is nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>Some reasons why we could have very good placement: our career development center is very useful: they help you make resumes, apply to internships, get research experience outside of Brown, etc. And our professors are oftentimes amazing. In addition, getting research as an udnergrad is easy, as is TAing. From what I’ve heard, grad schools look more at how involved you were in research, and look to see what you’ve DONE, more so than what your grades were, even if they consider grades more than employers. And it Brown it seems ridiculously easy to do.</p>
