What's the Brown atmosphere like?

<p>As a hopeful-future Brown applicant, I just wanted to get some feedback from the CC community. I haven’t yet visited Brown, so I was just wondering about the general body of people. </p>

<p>What makes the Brown population different from other Ivies if anything?<br>
What kind of people and passions is Brown looking for?<br>
What are the most important things to do well on in high school? (scores, grades or love of learning?)</p>

<p>Any other general thoughts about who fits in at Brown, and who Brown wants would be greatly appreciated. </p>

<p>Thank you all!</p>

<p>I generally recommend starting with my post on the University-College---

<p>^ I read that awhile ago and it's a great thread post. Took a bit of searching to find it, but I eventually found it on the 7th page or something.</p>
