<p>Hi! I’m a freshman at the University of Maryland (OOS). I’m studying economics and pre-medicine. I was wondering what my chances were for transfer to Brown. Here are my stats:
HS GPA: 4.3 W (All A’s all 4 years, only honors and AP courses); 3.9 UW
Rank: Top 5% (I think it was higher but my high school rounds)
SAT I: 690 M, 720 W, 780 CR
SAT II: 720 Math II, 760 Literature
HS EC’s: LOT’s of long-term community service projects, several leadership positions, 2 jobs, Varsity Indoor Track, Varsity Tennis, club tennis, church youth group
College GPA: 4.0; 17 credits; difficult course load
College EC’s: Club tennis, Student Government Association Senator, elementary school mentor, Economics Tutoring Association, Biology lab research assistant
Honors/Awards: National Honor Society (with 20 hours community service each year), Mu Alpha Theta Math Honor Society (with 10 hours tutoring each year), Oberlin College Book Award, Headmaster’s Award (for maintaining a 4.0 all 4 years of HS), AP Scholar with Distinction, President’s Scholarship (merit scholarship at UMD), Dean’s List
Also, I’m a member of College Park Scholars, which is an honors program at UMD.
Teacher Recs: Should be good. I was one of only a few people in both my bio class of 400 people and my art history class of 400 people to get an A+ so I’m feeling confident that those will be very good.
Essays: Very personal and specific to Brown. I think my reasons for wanting to go there are valid.
Sorry for such a long post. Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Your stats are strong, so on paper, you have a good shot. But since very important components such as your essay and recs can't be conveyed on this forum, who knows. </p>
<p>If you have questions, let me know. Transfer and professional application coach here.</p>
<p>Also, transfer acceptance rates vary from year to year, and your level of financial need will be of concern.</p>
