Chance for Brown Transfer?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi. I am planning on transferring to Brown as a Junior, and I was wondering if you guys could share some insight regarding my chance of admittance.</p>

<p>Current institution: Middlebury College</p>

<p>Major: Mathematics</p>

<p>Current GPA (after competing 1 year (2 semesters) of coursework): 3.93</p>

<p>and probably... after completing the third semester, I will likely have the same GPA.</p>

<p>Rigor of the courses taken: very rigorous (and took more courses than the normal load)</p>

<p>Summer activities (this summer): Took a summer course at Harvard, got an A. Volunteered at the local hospital, total hours volunteered: 200+ hours.</p>

<p>Activities (while at college): Teaching assistant (mathematics) </p>

<p>High school GPA: 4.0 (unweighted)</p>

<p>High school activities: Volunteered at the local nursing home, total hours volunteered: 200+ hours. Math club, NHS.</p>

<p>SAT/ACT: Not going to submit (as it wasn't required by my current institution, and it is not so by Brown as well)</p>

<p>SAT subject test scores: 800/800/790 (physics, math II, chem, respectively)</p>

<p>Letters of recommendation: will be very good.</p>

<ul>
<li>6 AP tests (Stat, Chem, Phys B&C (mech+e&m), Calc BC) in all of which I got 5 except for one (Stat).</li>
</ul>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Why do you want to transfer from Middlebury?</p>

6

<p>[the department of Applied Mathematics (at Brown)] [most important]
Open Curriculum(at Brown)</p>

<p>lack of courses(Midd)
graduate courses(at Brown) which I can take as an undergraduate</p>

<p>lack of intellectual challenge</p>

<p>geographic isolation</p>

<p>friends</p>

<p>why Brown, not any other universities (as many have graduate courses open to undergrad and the dept. of app. math)?</p>

<p>Well, as I said above, Brown does not require SAT/ACT if they were not so by the home institution, and Midd did not require any of it, so I don’t have them.</p>

<p>I will appreciate if anyone can provide me the list of <a href=“comparable%20to%20Brown/Midd%20in%20terms%20of%20academics”>UNIVERSITIES</a> that have the same standardized test policy as does Brown.</p>

<p>Hi, I guess you should do some activities relate to your major not just volunteer work. Beside that, you have good chances getting into Brown. btw, I’m also considering transferring to ivies, so keep me updated when you get into Brown!</p>
