<p>I agree with applejack, it really depends in the student
For some a school such as Brown may be great and allow them to have as much freedom and opportunities to succeed as they need but some may be lost without guidance and structure.
And to ask whether Brown is easier to get into than other ivies is completly ridiculous. Everyone of the ivies is different, they can’t really be compared. One girl I knew from when I was young dreamed of going to Borwn since she was young. She was valedictorian at a top high school, had SAT scores 10 points away from perfect and her dad is a Brown professor. She was rejected by Brown but she now goes to Harvard. So Borwn is not necessarily easier to get into than Harvard or other ivy schools. It really does depend on the student.</p>
