<p>Your college background looks a bit “scattered” for Brown as a transfer. Are you a premed still? Brown will be unlikely to write you a med school application dean’s letter without some of the rigorous premed courses being taken at Brown. (Unless maybe you are going to do that as a post-bac applicant after some serious research etc.) If instead you are “done with” the premed track, and really interested in going on to something connected to the literature thing, then Brown may be worth a shot for you.</p>
