<p>@arcadefire: on Brown’s transfer admissions page, it says that they normally require the SAT Reasoning Test AND two Subject Tests. I don’t think the subject tests will be as important in the transfer admissions decision, so if you don’t report them, the worst that’ll happen is they’ll tell you these scores are missing and ask you to send them in. My only other concern is that your high school transcript will report your SAT II scores, and Brown will take them into consideration even though you didn’t self-report. You could always retake 2 subject tests, but again, I don’t know if it would be worth the time and effort now that you’re in college.</p>
<p>I guess I missed the SAT II part… </p>
<p>I know that my school reports everything damn thing on my transcript… maybe they have a compact version or something that do report my Standardized Test Scores.</p>
<p>Hi, I’m also applying as a transfer student. just called admissions about their whole need-aware policy, and it turns out that they only accept about 100 transfer students because of limited resources. They look at how much you can pay before they make their decision. the person I talked to, however, said that they just “accept people as they come until we run out of money” but also “not all selected students will require aid…” This is confusing because I know I’ll be needing aid, so even if I am an ideal candidate, just the fact that i’ll be needing aid will disqualify me? And not to disappoint anyone: the same person told me that last year there were between 1300-1400 transfer applicants. Seems like only decently smart, rich kids have a shot? :(.</p>
<p>Also, I am currently attending a regional campus at my state school which makes it really hard for me to juggle job and school and to be able to find extra curricular activities. Anyone in the same situation? </p>
<p>And: I too am retaking my SAT1s probably in January to raise them as much as possible before sending them in, and taking the SAT2s in December for the first time since I never took them before. …I REALLY want to transfer to Brown.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, needing FA won’t disqualify you. Will needing FA make it more difficult to be accepted? Yes.</p>
<p>Just don’t get your heart too set on Brown AshesintheFall (by the way, I love that rage against the machine song). Asking for financial aid does seriously hurt our applications, so try to find some other good need-blind schools to apply to.</p>
<p>Oh they’re not need-blind? Well that’s good for me, rather give Brown my money than 50k a year to USC xD</p>
<p>So I heard things about mid-term grade reports earlier. How is that possible? How do they require or monitor that?</p>
<p>I am pretty sure my college does not have mid term reports…</p>

<p>You can just use the CA mid-term report form, you just take it around to your instructors and they state your current grade and sign. It’s not required, but if you’ve got good grades in March/April before decisions are made, I’d sure recommend sending them.</p>
<p>It is going to be such an awkward struggle getting all my professors to sign this…I don’t want them to all know I’m trying to transfer. :(</p>
<p>@arcadefire</p>
<p>Yeah, I transferred last year and I was worried it’d be awkward as hell. “SO WHY’RE YOU TRANSFERRIN’, HM? JUST DON’T LIKE US, EH?” It’s really not all that bad, but still a little uncomfortable. </p>
<p>I was careful not to mention that I felt like I needed to be a little more challenged or anything like that, but rather explained that I just didn’t feel like it was a “good fit,” (I’d usually cite that I’d gone to little art school for high school, and the giant sports-oriented university I attended freshman year just wasn’t my thing.). </p>
<p>I think there’s a tendency to worry that you’ll come off as “your school just isn’t good enough for me,” but if you stress that it just isn’t for you, that you know it’s kind of crazy to apply to all these super-exclusive schools (especially ridiculous for transfers, I remember I was floored when I saw that Yale only accepts twenty-some transfers a year) and just want to give it a shot so you know that you tried and all that, your profs will actually be very encouraging. </p>
<p>Mine were amazing, gave me a lot of good advice and recommended places to apply, so all the worrying was really for nothing.</p>
<p>does anyone knowwhen the brown supplement comes out?
man, i really feel like visiting brown again over winter break, its architecture would look breathtaking covered in snow.</p>
<p>also, circuitries, were you able to transfer to brown? if not, what college did you transfer to and from where?</p>
<p>melonbread91 the application comes out in january.</p>
<p>I know, but I cant help myself. Brown is just so…me! I’m sure everyone on this thread feels the same way, otherwise: please don’t apply and give us a better chance! lol. I’m pretty much just relying on the essay I’ll write and the letters of recommendation. Today I decided to ask my calc professor if he would write me one, and I’m sure it’ll be a good one. We’ll see how my bio professor does.</p>
<p>I’m still applying to Cornell and UPenn as back-ups. They’re need-blind for transfers and their chances are slightly higher. So we’ll see.</p>
<p>Oh and the supplement is out already.</p>
<p>lols, Penn and Cornell as backups?
I checked my common app page and it stills says the supp isnt out yet…guess i’ll go check now.</p>
<p>Penn and Cornell as Backups?</p>
<p>I hope you have backups for those backups ;)</p>
<p>No backups. If I don’t get into any of those three, especially Brown, I’ll try again next year. I guess my ultimate back-up is my current school. It’s not so bad, just not what I ever wanted. I’m grateful for it, don’t get me wrong. I’m sure you all understand. Good luck.</p>
<p>whoa the supplement’s up!</p>
<p>I just looked and it said the supplement is being revised. Am I looking at the wrong page?</p>
