THE TRUTH BEHIND THE IVY LEAGUE | My experience at Brown University 

I too graduated with a degree in Engineering and Economics. Fortunately for me, I had two close family friends who attended Brown before me and they coached me on what to expect and how to manage my classes and campus life. By definition, if you are involved in anything where all the participants are A rated, A then becomes average and you have to work harder. All my engineering classes were graded on a normal distribution curve which made it even harder to obtain an A. During my years as a petroleum engineer, I encountered only 4 other Black petroleum engineers…4 out of 2500 nationwide !!! During my years as an investment banker in Energy, I encountered only 2 Black investment bankers. During my years as a management consultant restructuring the interstate natural gas transportation and electric power industries, I did not encounter any Blacks. Brown Univ prepared me for a truly great career.

Hey Abayomi, as a black student who just got accepted early decision to Brown University (CO2028) I am glad to hear about your experience! Hopefully my 4 years goes just as well!

Thank you for sharing your experience at Brown. Congratulations on your achievements and I can clearly see why you were accepted and thrived at Ivy League. You have a bright future ahead of you.

Abayomi, I am glad you survived and completed your education, in an environment that may or may have not been receptive to black people, or work along with black students to achieve your goals.

Thank you so much for making this honest video, really helpful!!

Great video. I enjoyef hearing your expeeiences. You've done really well.

Thank you for this video! How would you see Denison University from an academic standpoint? And compared to other universities(Tufts,Brown or some unranked universities too)? Thanks for your help😀

Thanks for sharing. My daughter is currently at Freshman at Brown. Brown was also her dream school and she too, was accepted ED. She is currently majoring in Economics and I’m thinking she may be a do a double major but I think she’s still trying to figure that out. If I had to guess it would be either Africana Studies or Cognitive Science. She’s a Bonner Fellow. Again, thanks for sharing.

Do you receive full scholarship to the Ivy leagues you went to. And do you still have to pay back for your schooling?

thank uu

What was your major?

Your title should be “My truth” because it is not “The Truth”.
