Brown University Fall 2019 Transfer Thread

Does anyone know if Brown does early reads

Did anyone just do a double-take on receiving that Email? Haha.

I did receive that email too

Me! I just came here to post that I got it. My heart nearly skipped a beat.

I hate the vaguity of “early May”

Does this mean that we are going to get a decision earlier than usual? The precedent is usually the second Thursday of May, so I thought that would be the 9th this cycle. Now that the checklist is going down in a few days, maybe we’ll get it next week??

A friend last year told me her decision came out the 9th!

they said they’ll send us an email with the release date of the decision, so I guess we’ll know soon

Yep. Does anyone know how many students Brown accepts from CC’s vs. Traditional colleges and universities?

I’m not too sure how great of an indicator this is but there’s 8 CC’s out of the 45 colleges listed (https://www.brown.edu/admission/undergraduate/apply/transfer-applicants/admission-process).

I’m super late to the party but I’m currently a frehsman at University of Miami. I’m a mathematics major with a 4.0 as well as straight A’s on the midterm report. My ACT was a 34 and my HS gpa weighted was a 96 (high school was not my prime). I’m on the competitve club tennis team as well as a tutor in calculus, chemistry, and italian for the university tutoring center. Good luck to all of you, I am dying of anxiety ?.

No email yet in regards to decision release date ??? hope we hear from them soon?

My checklist is still there. I thought it was supposed to disappear…anyone else?
