Why Brown: “I choose Brown mainly for the open curriculum. I have been torn on what I wanted as a career for the longest time. I have a great appreciation for math and numbers, but I know there are other paths out there that could really pique my interest such as chemistry. Also, the low student to faculty ratio seems like it could aid my learning.
