Post-graduate data?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Brown University

<p>Does anyone have any data for where Brown graduates, particularly Brown CS or engineering graduates if the data is available, attend graduate school? This would help me a lot in making my decision.</p>

<p>The CareerLAB has a lot of information on that. They have general information on where Brown graduates go, and also have a list of survey answers about immediate plans after graduation, broken down by Concentration. It changes by cohort of course, but last year’s Class went to a diverse and impressive range of places</p>

<p>Engineering Concentraters: Brown, CalTech, Cornell, Dartmouth, MIT, McGill, Stanford UCSD/Berkeley/LA/SB, UIUC, Michigan, UT-Austin, and UWashington</p>

<p>CompSci: CalTech, Cornell, Rhode Island College, USC</p>

<p>A good chunk of both concentrations also went straight into the workforce</p>

<p>Thanks! Is this really representative of all Brown grads? Like are those 4 schools the ONLY ones where CS grads go? I wanted to be able to have Cal/Stanford/MIT as options for grad school as well, but it doesn’t look like many people (if any) go there… or is that because the survey doesn’t account for everyone?</p>

<p>That was only for last year’s group, and they only got an 83% response rate. In other years, the numbers could have been higher. Whatever the case, of course Brown won’t hurt your chances for any of those three</p>

<p>Those are definitely not the only schools where CS grads go, but I will point out that many Brown CS grads end up going into the workforce, at least directly after college. I know several who have worked for a few years, then applied to grad school after they’d had experience in the field. This survey wouldn’t account for that. </p>

<p>Here’s a pretty famous Brown CS graduate who went on to get his PhD and teach at Carnegie Mellon.</p>

<p>^^^^ His Brown undergraduate advisor was Andy van Dam</p>

<p>As I have mentioned to Truust but for others, my daughter went to a top 10 PhD track program directly from undergrad. There were just a few going to grad school although some were going to go later. Most went to tech firms. I know the year she graduated another student who did the 5 year BS/MS went to MIT.</p>
