<p>Hey all! My stats are below. Let me know what you think my chances are for being accepted as a spring transfer. My current university, University of Denver, doesn’t offer a degree in Middle Eastern Studies or Arabic.</p>

<p>H.S. GPA: 3.9/4.0
ACT: 27 (not great, I know)
Current GPA: 3.85/4.0 (on a A, B, C scale–not A, A-, etc)
Letters of Rec: Director at the Embassy of Jordan (just finishing an internship there this summer), Director of the undergrad program for int’l studies at DU, and my writing prof
EC: Student editor for undergrad research publication at DU, various clubs, volunteer at refugee center, internship at the Embassy of Jordan, etc</p>

<p>I’ve taken a pretty strong workload too.</p>

<p>Let me know what you all think. Thanks</p>

<p>I’m assuming you’ve just finished your freshman year and this would be for spring sophomore? Your GPA is “okay”. You might want to consider even repeating ACT. Brown took fewer transfers from what I heard, and more deferred and already accepted as spring transfers, so that makes it harder. You will need to make sure you have very "Brown specific " essays re why applying. (Not just “they don’t have what I want to do here”.) Have you looked into Univ Colo. Boulder? I heard they had a great Arabic program.</p>
