How did you hear about Brown - actually telling the truth?!

<p>We are on the west coast, so when my daughter was admitted to Brown and accepted it, almost everyone in our family said "what's Brown?, why isn't she going to Stanford?"</p>

<p>Almost no one knew of it, except my Aunt and her son went to Princeton, so she told my daughter that Brown was a 'baby ivy', not a real one. lol, I am still laughing my butt off.</p>

<p>She is a senior, so maybe missed all these pop culture references, but she didn't watch much TV growing up and not at all in High School. She does catch up with a few shows now online.</p>

<p>I think it is incredibly poor to talk about TV shows in any Brown essay. I would advise never to do it. I could think it might work as a one-off, but actually people are doing it, so AVOID, and AVOID.</p>

<p>Brian the dog went to brown but didn't graduate. He lands a good job interview and finds out that his future boss went to Harvard. After telling him that he went to brown, the boss says his retarded gay niece went to brown lol. HYP people are always such d0uches, even in cartoons... and he lost his job because he was a drop out</p>
