Brown Taubman Center
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 10th, 2009 12:47 PM Author: curious brethren scourge upon the earth This is kind of a repost.
I'm wondering about Brown's Public Policy program at the Taubman center. I figured it would be good because of the name, but I have not seen it on any top MPP lists. Anyone have any knowledge on this ?

that being said, the taubman faculty includes a lot of high profile national academic experts as well as practitioners (former senators, etc.)
they also have the ability to draw big names to campus to give talks (barack obama and both clintons for instance within the last two years)
the mpp is mostly about connections anyway and brown definitely has them |

Date: February 10th, 2009 3:12 PM Author: carmine offensive mexican main people Brown's grad programs are mostly for losers who want to brag about going to an Ivy, when anyone who is remotely knowledgeable would be able to tell that their program is shit. However, it's doubtful that these hacks could have done markedly better. They just prefer a shit program at Brown to a higher-ranked program at some state school.

Date: February 10th, 2009 3:38 PM Author: erotic haunted graveyard cuck I just wonder how Brown masks the fact that it's a rancid, festering TTT wasteland at the graduate level to admitted students (at least at the PhD level). Does it rigorously employ Tufts syndrome, or are the people who go there really vain enough to pick a 40th-ranked program at Brown over a 10th-ranked program at, say, the University of Washington?

Date: February 11th, 2009 12:03 PM Author: stirring submissive school cafeteria Brown does have a handful of good graduate programs-Classics and Applied Math are among the tops in their categories. The regular programs: English, History, etc are decently placed. Terms like shit and TTT are too casually tossed about on this board.
But Brown is still an overwhelmingly undergraduate school. |

Date: February 11th, 2009 1:41 PM Author: erotic haunted graveyard cuck yes, it is fun to throw those terms around on xoxo, and yes, they are used loosely here. xoxo TTT =/= true TTT. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=931035&forum_id=3#10901774) |
