<p>I was wondering if anyone is transferring to Brown for 2010? And what's your resume like? I want to apply for that year, but I'm unsure of what type of people apply. I currently at the University of Rhode Island, and i'm just weighing my chances. Thanks!</p>
<p>Rest assured that very qualified (e.g.: having >3.5 at least, test scores within or above the ranges at Brown, solid ECs) applicants will be applying to Brown.</p>
<p>I’ll be applying! 
However, I am very doubtful they’ll accept a black, weird double-major chick from SC. haha</p>
<p>Emma Watson #1 reason to transfer!</p>
<p>They love to accept black chicks.</p>
<p>My advice would be find old threads for brown transfers(2008) and analyze that data with yours. And there should be a user his nick name is browntransfer, and there is another
browntransfer04. Get in touch with them.</p>
<p>Good Luck on your application</p>
<p>How important is your GPA for transferring to Brown? I’m probably gonna end up with a meager 3.3 at the end of my sophomore year.</p>
<p>GPA is VERY important.</p>
<p>Unless all of your courses were high level, a 3.3 will not be competitive.</p>
<p>i’m going to apply… from emory. 3.76 gpa with good ecs, but not a terribly difficult course load.</p>
<p>I’m currently at UC Riverside and have a 3.94. I probably won’t be submitting my SAT scores from high school because they were bad.</p>
<p>Applying from USC with (hopefully) around a 3.6 with only a few lower level classes. My ACT scores are at the upper range of their average, SATs are a bit low (because of CR). EC’s are fairly average/low though.</p>
<p>@ NEU2NU</p>
<p>I had a rough freshman year. I finished my high school abroad, and didn’t have any AP/IB credits going into college. To stay ahead of my course of study (Econ/Pre-Med at Northwestern), I was forced to take certain very hard classes at the same time and so my GPA took a nose dive. But I have moved on since, and I hope to make all A’s in my sophomore year.</p>

<p>If you went to a CA high school, the scores are probably on the HS transcript you will have to submit. Regardless, keep in mind they will know you have low scores because they know UCs require them and specify they would like to see them unless you went to a college that didn’t require them.</p>
<p>OP, you will be competing against many highly qualified candidates.</p>

<p>Positive trends always look good to colleges. :)</p>
<p>A 4.0 this semester will help a lot, but remember that a lot more weight will be put on your essays and recommendations. </p>
<p>My advice is to become friends with your adviser. You want them to write the best spin possible, and if he/she likes you then he/she will do a better job. </p>
<p>@Everyone else,</p>
<p>Does Brown NOT have to see my SAT scores? I was under the impression they required them.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure Brown requires SAT scores.</p>
<p>Standardized Testing
For freshman applicants, Brown normally expects to see either the SAT Reasoning Test (SAT I) and any two SAT Subject Tests (SAT II), or the complete ACT (with Writing). For transfer students, we also prefer to see such scores. However, since the college you are endeavoring to transfer from may not have required such examinations as part of their admission requirement, we will not retroactively place this as a requirement on you as a Brown transfer applicant But please note that the SAT’s give us one tool (among others) of comparing applicants across a wide variety of secondary school preparation, and so we do encourage you to take one or the other, if you have not done so previously.</p>
<p>Oh yay, they’re willing to take the full ACT in place of the SAT’s which were only decent for me xD</p>
<p>wait, so if you want to take a specific SATII that you didn’t in hs, would brown still take it? for me, i was thinking physics.</p>
<p>Well I stand corrected then.</p>
<p>@melonbread91</p>
<p>They would frown on taking a new SAT II, (more so, if you have taken college physics or even ap physics). </p>
<p>They want to see your test scores to get an idea of how prepared you were <em>entering</em> college.</p>
