  1. This is not the most important decision in your life, you will face much bigger decisions than this in the future.
  2. Don't choose between these schools because of your potential major.
  3. Go to Brown.
  4. You will be fine even if you don't go to Brown.
  5. See points #1 and #4 again
  6. Make your decision and don't look back. No regrets.
 

Not an alum of either, but from what I know both school could get you where you want to go. Brown could make getting into finance somewhat easier, but either way you will have to work hard. In my opinion, Vandy is still a valid option if you are willing to bust your ass putting together a great resume there. Best of luck whichever option you choose, and congratulations for getting into these schools!
