<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>I’m currently a freshman at a NESCAC and I applied as a transfer for this fall. My GPA was a 3.5 first semester (unfortunately, a B- in Calc II brought it down quite a bit). I’m currently taking 5 classes (the standard is 4) and have around a 3.8 or a 3.9 GPA. I’ve received A’s or A-'s in all of my major-related courses. I got a 33 on the ACT. I’m also a 3rd generation legacy. I’m kind of expecting a rejection, but I figured I’d throw my stats out there in case anyone wanted to put their two cents in (:</p>

<p>If I were lucky enough to be accepted, I’m looking to either double concentrate in Psych and Education or possibly triple concentrate with Italian. Is it common to double or triple concentrate at Brown? From what I’ve read, it seems pretty common to double concentrate with Psych and Education. Would this be more difficult as a transfer student?</p>

<p>It’s possible for you to double-concentrate, depending on what credits transfer over from your current school to Brown. Brown students tend not to triple-concentrate, since that would usually require taking more than 4 years, and because there’s honestly no point. What is more common is to take courses that interest you in the department (in your example, Italian), but not to fulfill all the concentration requirements.</p>
