Brown University & Other Ivy Leagues

Hello,

Has anyone gone through the admissions process for Brown University?
Just wanted a bit of information about it.

Also, what are the equivalent Australian Universities to those of the Ivy League in America?

Thanks

Re: Brown University & Other Ivy Leagues

Australia has no equivalents to Ivy League, like they're really not comparable.

well yes, the go8 or the sandstone universities in Australia are seen as the ivy league of Australia, but they aren't as highly ranked as the actual ivy leauge. You just can't quite get the same thing in Australia. Melbourne, Sydney, NSW and ANU are usually fairly highly rated on international rankings though. The problem with rankings are that they can be subjective. For example Melbourne Uni ranges from around 20 in the world for some and around 80 for others, but in all ranking systems, the ivy league are higher than anything in Australia, generally making up most of the positions in the top 10 unis in the world.

Also, I know that some prestigious universities in USA have student blogs, many of which would probably give personal experiences of what the admissions procedures entail. I'm not sure exactly which Unis do this, but I'm sure you can find out if you take a look around.

Jiao Tong is generally considered the most rigourous of the world rankings, but there's plenty of debate about how these rankings are determined.

I was surprised to see Brown at number 71 on that list. ANU also unexpectedly topped all other Australian unis to come in at 31st, with the next Australian uni (USyd) in at number 97. Holy crap.

Why "holy crap"? Or u assume that the ranking of the THES to be more rigorous? SHJT's ranking has a favor (maybe bias(es)) on American Universities (sounds reasonable) so we can assume that Brown Uni was not treated badly. And as one said above, SHJT is often considered the most rigorous and well-cited one (we can't demand it to be perfect for sure).

Wait 4 the THES and SHJT'2009 ones anyway.

Ivy league's similar 2 our G8 in some aspects. The most obvious one is that the members are all good Universities but not necessarily the best ones. One should remember this.

Yeah well people need to be reminded...

It's like someone who posted in the General University forum 'What happens when a Go8 uni is ranked lower?' <- like wtf?
