Founded in 1764, Brown is the seventh-oldest U.S. university - one of only nine founded before the American Revolution. This private, Ivy League institution was the first to accept students irrespective of religious affiliation. It became coeducational in 1971 when merging with the all-female Pembroke College. Brown University produced eight Nobel Prize winners, eight billionaires, a U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice, and 23 Pulitzer Prize winners. All of that with an acceptance rate under 7%.
