Comments:
While my high school GPA and SAT are low, I hope to distinguish myself with the research I am currently doing with different professors. I plan on writing my essay upon Nebraskan authors and my desire to pursue engaging research institutions. My reasons for transferring are that comparative literature is not offered as a major at UNL, and my desire to be in a vibrant and diverse campus. Do I have a feasible chance of getting into Brown as a transfer?</p>
<p>I really don’t know. But why did you go to a college that doesn’t have your major? Inquiring minds will want to know.</p>
<p>I agree with @BrownParent , but your college GPA seems great, so mayybee… your sat score is surely not going to work in your favour…</p>
<p>Depends on the number of empty seats, which is, year to year, a moving target. Not many kids migrate out of the Ivies after freshman year. Some figuring is done for kids going abroad for a semester or year. It also can very much depend on your major. And, do some hard looking at what the schools are about- because just focusing on research opps may not be enough. </p>
