How does Brown not have the same prestige as Princeton, Harvard, Yale, and Stanford?

<p>^bear in mind that Brown us still a very prestigious school. I speculate that there will still be some people there who chose to go there for prestige rather than fit.</p>

<p>IMO a school with most ‘fit’ students will likely be some kind of LAC not known by most people.</p>

<p>I think it’s funny how no one has addressed that Princeton offers the best undergraduate experience in the country and places utmost emphasis on the success of its college students, whereas Brown (like Harvard and Yale) has more graduate schools and far less per capita endowment for its undergraduate students.</p>

<p>Brown and Princeton have the same number of graduate schools - 1. Yes, Princeton does offer a great undergraduate experience, but we’re sorry no-one fawned about it when talking about other schools.</p>

<p>Princeton has more graduate students. Brown has more undergraduate students. Brown is more intellectual. Princeton is more Wall Street striverish. It’s all in what you want.</p>

<p>Brown and Princeton each have around 2,500 graduate students. Not sure what gave you the impression that Brown belongs in the Harvard/Yale camp on that front, decillion, but you’re confused.</p>

<p>How’s that orange Kool Aid tasting?</p>

<p>Mg, I teased out the medical school from Brown’s overall graduate school population. If you do this, I believe Princeton has more graduate students. To me, the medical school population is more professional school than graduate school. Just a personal semantic preference.</p>

<p>^(I was responding to decillion, not to you – sorry for the confusion. As an aside, I think you’re somewhat right to separate out the med school, but I didn’t want to get into a whole debate about that.)</p>
