<p>Guys! Today, my father went to get the mail and he handed me a big envelope and then, I just knew it! I GOT ACCEPTED TO BROWN UNIVERSITY AS A TRANSFER!!! I’m soooo overjoyed!!! I still can’t believe it right now! 
<em>huge sigh of relief</em> WOOO HOOO!</p>
<p>Oh wow congratulations, you must be ecstatic. Well done. :) It sounds like you're the first to hear (on CC). I'm waiting for mine, but I'll be waiting for a while, as I'm in another country. Do you mind me asking where you're transferring from and if you're a freshman or sophomore?</p>
<p>Buggz, great news..congratulations!</p>
<p>Buggz, mind sharing some stats? Congrats.</p>
<p>buggz - where are you from?</p>
<p>Sportzen: it says from Providence, RI, which I guess is why the mail gets there a little quicker than everyone else. Lucky. :)</p>
<p>Congrats, Buggz! Did the acceptance letter mention the number of applicants admitted and the total number of applicants who applied?</p>
<p>On my letter, it says "You are one of a small group of highly-qualified students accepted from among more than 1,000 applicants for full-time matriculation." So, I guess over 1,000 students applied...lol, and yes, since I'm in Providence, I did get the decision faster...lol. Brown's only right down route 10 for me. Isn't that cool? I just have to drive about 3-5 minutes and I'm there! HAHA. I'm ecstatic!!! And also, I still have to send in my final transcript. I was at the University of Rhode Island for those who wanted to know....</p>
<p>OH and no there were no stats for how many were accepted...</p>

<p>SORRY, they're not in order, but that's all my info</p>
<p>BUGGZ, how did they deliver the letter? Just regular united states postal service, or something like fedex etc.?</p>
<p>buggz, are you a freshman or sophomore at uri?</p>
<p>Um...the Brown materials I got were in a somewhat big envelope and it was first class mail. It doesn't say FedEx or anything...it's a normal Brown envelope. And I'm a Freshman, well, WAS a Freshman. I just survived my 1st year of college...now I'll be over at Brown.</p>
<p>Congrats, Buggz! Welcome to Brown 09!</p>
<p>congratulations!!!!, i wish i was in ur situation......seems like things aren't going my way these days.......</p>
<p>Well just keep your head up... :D</p>
<p>buggz, your h.s. stats are amazing. do you mind my asking what made you decide on uri over a higher-ranking school?</p>
<p>Well, first of all, I did NOT applied to Brown when I was a Senior in HS. I passed up that opportunity because I didn't think I was confident in myself to go for it (for something big, that is). URI was a safe choice, thought it was a good school with a decent tuition (and many people I knew went there as well) and so I went with what I thought would fit me at THAT time. However, after much discussion with advisors and such, I decided after a year @ URI was enough and so I wanted transfer out so I can be in a more diverse (both ethnically AND intellectually) environment. Also, URI is too country-like for me (it's way out in hicksville, no offense) and Brown is located in more of an urban type of area. I was foolish in passing up an opportunity like Brown. My fault.</p>
