1. GPA is not officially calculated by the university, so by convention, students do it themselves. Most classes offer letter grades by default: A, B, or C. Students may opt to take any course at Brown “pass/fail,” officially “S/NC.” 2. Class grades are calculated very similarly to most other universities with individual professors having a lot more discretion, but most professors award grades like this: A for 90-100%, B for 80-90%, and C for 70-80%, with slight fluctuation based on other factors (curves, professors being nice, etc.). If a student does not pass a class, say, if the student scores below 70% in a class where 70% is the minimum for a C, that student would not receive credit for the course. Failures are not recorded on transcripts. They’re also rare since most professors realize students might be taking classes outside their comfort zone, making them generous with grading.

FWIW i’m doing QT/have gotten offers from multiple of the firms you mentioned and i’ve taken a lot of grad courses, but you are right in that they are completely disjoint from the content in interviews. i will also say that doing QR out of undergrad is possible, but the people I know who are doing it are truly exceptional (don’t know anyone who has done this out of brown), and i don’t think it’s really a reasonable goal for most people…

This is dead, but you have unanswered questions that I think I can answer at least in part. 100% agree with u/dnlwng. I'll start with a butchered quote from a friend: "... you \*\*\*\*, the pre-requisite to *graduate* math courses is an *undergraduate* degree in mathematics." His point was direct, but my point is primarily that you should not be looking at these courses like you looked at AP courses in high school. The content is indeed useful and it will indeed look nice on your resume, but you are in no way the intended audience; those courses are there to serve as a gateway to working towards expertise on a very particular topic. If you took AP stat in HS, 1650/5 was probably very easy --- at least, this is what I've heard from a number of my math-oriented friends. 1200 may have been similar. \> Tho it requires grad real analysis and I wonder if at that point you are better off just reading the relevant textbook. This gives me the feeling that the way we look at this is completely different: in particular, I think you're looking at it as a *probability* sequence, not a *probability theory* sequence. That nuance is huge and is essentially true for the rest of the classes you listed. If you just want the job, take math1610/20. Otherwise, at least take 1130 so that the analysis topics aren't completely brand new to you, otherwise you're not going to have a fun time. That being said, RFT is not as hard of a pre-req as it might seem, and functional analysis is left entirely to the second semester, so you don't miss much there. It would be very much beneficial for you to know how Lebesgue integration/ measure theory and that all works before that sequence. For the others, I don't have too much to say since I have taken them yet (I'm currently in RFT and a2550 + some monkey CS garbage; next semester is the continuations + a2610. Not til next year that I'll take the probability sequence), but the general principle is true: "yes, it's helpful to have the knowledge. No, I do not believe that the winning strat is to take a ton of grad courses" This is incomplete but already quite long. I'll end with pointing out that the previous SIG/ Jane Street/ IMC/ Five Rings interns I've met here have not taken many graduate courses, if any at all --- though these were all traders. Of course, the process for SWE is very different, and you probably *should* try to take these all over the course of your years here if you want to do quant research, since those roles are much more intimate with ML, optimization, and modeling. Take your time though. 3 grad courses + 2 CS that people tout as taking up a ton of time was simply not conducive to having time for interview prep like most of my peers do. Not sure what year you are, but recognize that QR as a sophomore is, well, highly improbable, mostly for reasons out of your control. Most of these places do take sophomores for the trading positions, but not for SWE or Research, maybe barring the complete phenoms getting headhunted.

As a transfer, you’ll be put in a dorm with other transfers. Your social circle would be comprised of mostly transfers. You’ll have to do at least two years at Brown, so they might not cash in all your credits. Summer courses usually don’t count for anything. Also, this school is awesome!

As a former grad student - who used to answer questions from prospective students regarding the PoliSci Ph.D. program - I'd suggest contacting The Graduate School. They can put you in touch with faculty and (assuming things haven't changed) a student in the Ph.D. program you're interested in. You can also "cold email" someone in the program. Two questions I wished I asked before entering a Ph.D. program are "how many Ph.Ds. has the program produced in the last 5 years and where are they working?" Good luck.

I suggest that you go to Brown. With all due respect and love, the vast majority of high schoolers cannot predict what they will want to do when they graduate. (I changed my path in between junior and senior year). If you go to either Brown or Colorado Mines, and stick to whatever path you think you're on now, you'll do great and be happy. But if you, like so many other people, decide that what you thought you wanted to do at 17 or 18 is not what you want to do for the rest of your life, you'll be far better positioned to switch it up if you go to Brown than if you go to Colorado School of the Mines. A lot of life is about keeping doors open so you can have freedom to do what you want. I think you close a lot more doors by going to Colorado Mines than Brown. Good luck!

According to the various admissions officers I’ve talked to at both schools, 700 students (696 last year) is the number that indicated on their common app that they were applying to the program- not the number that are accepted into both schools. About 55 students are accepted to both schools. So while yes, the acceptance rate is about 2%, this includes the vast majority of students who are rejected from one or both schools but indicated on their common app that they were applying to the program.

Think you forgot to change accounts 😂 Yes they cover martingales and brownian motion (they aren’t covered til 2640) and no you will never need to use those on a non-research interview (although they are interesting in their own right!). The only things you need to know for interviews are taught in APMA 1650 (and maybe 1200). You’ll be fine without grad real analysis, although a lot of proofs use functional analysis (i remember arzela ascoli and riesz representation were used a lot - random variables are just functions after all). But if you’re ok getting less out of the class then it’s fine to go in a little less prepared. What’s your analysis background?

I would think 2630/2640 would be somewhat relevant since it covers martingales and brownian motion right? Tho it requires grad real analysis and I wonder if at that point you are better off just reading the relevant textbook. What classes would you recommend?

The pros of moving in earlier are that you can settle in, setup your room, reunite with friends, and potentially go to parties before classes have resumed. If you think you'd rather spend those extra couple days at home that's also totally fine and would still be allowed.

I dont wanna be a downer but it doesnt actually mean anything, brown (and most other schools that use css profile) always request idocs from everybody as the department of financial aid is separate from the admissions department. The financial aid department just creates financial aid packages for everybody in the case that they get admitted. That being said, good luck on your admission.

Ok so I decided to look back at an old gc that I was a part of for ED applicants and what I found was that some ppl who recieved a request for IDOC were deferred and others who didn't get a request got accepted, so I'm convinced getting an IDOC request is not a good indicator of anything -- especially when you consider the fact that the admissions and financial aid departments work separately

It depends. I believe it's up to the individual instructor when to do the lottery. I know for sure at least several of them have done it already this week. After the first round, they generally give the students some time to decide. They do not notify you if you have not been selected. If a student declines, they pull from the pool again. This goes on until the class is full. If at any point someone gives up their spot (changes their mind, scheduling conflict, doesn't go to the first class, drops during shopping), they forfeit their spot and the instructor goes back to the lottery pool. This means that override codes go out at a pretty random rate, even into the end of shopping period. I do think you have missed the first wave though. If you *really* want to take VISA100 next semester, you could always show up to class and if anyone drops, talk with the instructor.

Just an undergrad, but working with Rubenstein has been great. Not sure how much machine learning work her group does, but she's a great advisor for computational molecular dynamics.

If you're interested in anything relating to black feminism, keep an eye out for anything taught by Emily Owens.

I did the 5th year masters, and I got a decent job right out of school which I’m still at. I was able to take one last class from one of my favorite professors. The price is ridiculous, though.

It can be a good way to get some research experience before applying to PhD programs. There are always people that are going to have bad experiences, unfortunately... Two semesters isn't a ton of time, but its in the PIs best interest to make use of the extra pair of hands. Even better if you do a Master's in a lab where you've been working for a couple years as it can be a continuation of your already existing project.

Did you enter 5th year wanting to do grad research? I’m interested in the cyber security 5th year masters and wondering what exactly disappointed you? I think I might have different goals and I’d love to hear your perspective.

hi i'm a current 4th year in the program. message me if you have any questions! for your idea of stats - around 800-900 people each year apply for the program and are accepted into both brown and risd. of those, only about 15 of them are chosen to the program itself. (the actual numbers of folks who apply every year and don't get into BOTH brown and risd - they only get into one, or neither - is obviously much higher than 800-900. there aren't even numbers for the actual acceptance rate but it's probably somewhere around 1-2% acceptance.)

Seeing that that class doesn’t have an override required, try to get a spot. Writing sample deadlines will be communicated to you. Probably due on the first day of class or a little earlier.

No, I think it’s just on a particular date you can only use 3. So after midnight it resets and you get another 3

This. I was in the Brown Political Science PhD program and would occasionally get emailed questions about the program (people said I "looked friendly"). IIRC, the grad school can also direct you to a grad student who can give you insight into the program (I signed up to do this for a few years after prelims). Email The Graduate School. Protip: Ask someone, somewhere in the department how many PhDs they've graduated in the last 5-7 years. It will give you some idea of how the program supports their grad students. Also, beware any advisor who hasn't graduated anyone since the Obama administration - they tend to just want someone to grade papers and run sections. Good luck.

I do not feel the burden of proof. I don’t know the student well and will not be confirming. Believe me or not, I think that triple concentrating is possible.

IC is a concentration which covers an area of study not currently offered through a standard concentration. So although someone can double-concentrate with an IC and a standard concentration (just as with two standard concentrations), there is rarely a need to do an IC if the person is already doing other standard concentrations. I don't know how this would work. You might want to confirm the details with the person you know and let us know. Anyway only 16 students graduated this year with an IC. I don't know how many of them have two concentrations.

No and I wouldn’t have AP scores sent to any colleges til you’ve been accepted. For Brown, look at classes you want to take. You may decide not to submit some AP scores (eg so you can retake the class and get better instructions or get a better experience vs what you got via COVID classes).
