What is Brown's big "thing"?

Everything. They want to see the whole package. You need strong SATs, challenging classes, high grades, devotion to one or two outside activities, love of learning. Failing those, it helps to be a champion football player or parents who gave a ton of money – but even then, you need to prove you can handle the academics.

<p>I agree with the whole package thing. They’re really into this thing, and the love of learning totally appeals to Brown ADCOM. I think I was missing the devotion to one or two outside activities, because the longest I’ve been with a club is 3 years (the rest I’ve been with for 2 years), so perhaps that was a turn off.</p>
