<p>After the holidays! :( Oh well, I guess I'll just finish the other ones until then. Thanks for checking with admissions! </p>
<p>From what I've heard, sometimes they wait until final transcripts are in to make a final decision, but it is not the routine. Though one of the other sophmore applicants may know better.</p>
<p>nspeds, this would be your second time transferring, if you get into Brown and go right? If you're at Georgetown now, what was your first school?</p>
<p>Houston Baptist University.</p>
<p>I am applying to two other schools, but I do not wish to disclose them at this time.</p>

If you apply to enter as a sophomore, do they wait to see your 2nd semester grades before making an admissions decision?

<p>I depends on the school. I do not know about Brown.</p>
<p>If your HS record is good enough, there is no need to worry.</p>
<p>nspeds, if i dont mind asking you, where ru applying to, just curious, and also, maybe u can shed some light, but doesn't it hurt to transfer a second time, that is what i heard</p>
<p>I am applying to Brown for Fall 2006</p>

<p>That is one of my concerns, but as I said earlier:</p>
<p>

I might not even apply, or go if I am admitted

<p>To Brown, or to the other two schools?</p>

</p>
<p>All. It is an all or nothing deal.</p>
<p>Ah, so you will either apply or you won't. I know I'm applying, but my decision will be based on the results, regarding whether or not I'll stay where I currently attend.</p>

<p>My current concern is with obtaining recommendations and going through the hassle of requesting three transcripts for each institution, in addition to SAT scores. </p>
<p>It is not that I cannot obtain recommendations, it is that I spent the last half year building a relationship with my professors, and I do not want to convey the impression that it is of instrumental importance to me.</p>

<p>I will disclose the schools once I have more time to deliberate. If I apply, Brown will definitely be among the schools to which I will submit an application.</p>
<p>As far as I know, the Brown application has remained unchanged for the past two years. The personal statement portion (part 3) has one 500 word essay, An essay-type itemization of your extracurriculars, a two or three line essay (who interested you in Brown?), and a paragraph long essay (Tell us about the academic areas which interest you most and your reasons for applying to Brown.) If you want a pdf for reference purposes, I can send it to you.</p>
<p>has anyone gotten their Brown application yet? It's already the 4th and I need to get mine soon...</p>
<p>i sent an email today to the admissions dept. regarding this and they replied that the apps went to the printer today and should be received in a couple weeks.</p>
<p>... wow. Why can't they just put it online instead?</p>
<p>We're getting about a month to do the entire thing. That's just crazy.</p>
<p>But, maybe it will get a few less people to apply and increase our chances ;)</p>
<p>um, they could be true, less time they give us time for the ap, less ppl that will apply</p>
<p>however, if u have done more than 1 or 2 of these transfer aps, the questions are either the exact SAME or worded in another way, or it just has different preferences for length</p>
<p>Funny thing about Brown's website:</p>
<p>This page says it's due Feb 1: <a href="http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Admission/applyingtobrown/%5B/url%5D">http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Admission/applyingtobrown/</a></p>
<p>This page says it's due March 1: <a href="http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Admission/applyingtobrown/importantdates.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Admission/applyingtobrown/importantdates.html</a></p>
<p>And THIS page says it's due April 1: <a href="http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Admission/applyingtobrown/transferstudents.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.brown.edu/Administration/Admission/applyingtobrown/transferstudents.html</a></p>
<p>and given that they're taking so long to send out the transfer application itself, I can't help but feel like these guys are trying to make transfer applicants jump through as many hoops as possible.</p>
<p>In the past two years, I've seen the Brown Admission Office put 01 March as its transfer deadline, but a couple of days before that, they change it on the website to 01 April.</p>
<p>I highly, highly, highly doubt that the deadline would be 01 February, solely because they routinely distribute the application around the middle of January and most schools, bearing US NEWS et al in mind, like to give applicants enough of a chance to apply to boost the number of applications it receives. </p>
<p>No school would ever offer such a narrow time frame for receiving and submitting an application, that would be entirely useless.</p>
<p>Classwarrior: the first link you posted refers to Brown's deadline for submitting the Profile. </p>
<p>The second link you posted says that 01 March is the Transfer deadline, but it also states that said deadline is 25 days away. </p>
<p>The third page is the one to which you should pay closest attention. If they change any deadlines, this is where you would see it.</p>
