OFFICIAL Brown 2009 Transfers Thread

<p>it doesn’t hurt to call brown and ask. they are really open about supplementary material for the most part if you don’t go overboard, and especially if it’s relevant to your app.</p>

<p>Yeah, how fairly soon are we talking here?</p>

<p>man they still haven’t received an item I sent last monday (2 weeks ago)!! This is causing some great concern for me!</p>

<p>I keep hearing Tom Petty in my head:</p>

<p>“The waiting is the hardest part.
Every day you see one more card.
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart:
The way-ay-ting is the hardest part.”</p>

<p>I noticed that Brown claims to receive over 1400 transfer applications this year. And they only accept 120 at most (80 in fall, 40 in spring). I don’t have any hope.</p>

<p>They’ll accept more, they just want a yield of 120. Maybe like 140?</p>

<p>When you guys log on to check your application status, does it still have all of the information on the site? Or is it now different?</p>

<p>Checklist is gone</p>

<p>It’s gone, and I’m still not sure if they got all my stuff haha</p>

<p>^ same - the checklist has disappeared.</p>

<p>do u think they’ll do may 4th?</p>

<p>What makes people think May 4?</p>

<p>When were decisions released last year?</p>

<p>Decisions were released around may 15th. Here’s last years thread- <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/467263-brown-2008-transfer-applicants-13.html?highlight=brown+transfer+2008[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/467263-brown-2008-transfer-applicants-13.html?highlight=brown+transfer+2008&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Rice University accepted me and I must request an early decision notice</p>

<p>hopefully…I’ll know by the end of this week.</p>

<p>Please please please please please accept me!!!</p>

<p>So can we check Brown’s application online on the 15th to see?</p>

<p>Hey, I transferred here this year. If anyone has any questions, I’m more than happy to answer them either here or via PM. Last year, we didn’t find out online. I called on May 14th (don’t ask why I remember) and they gave me a decision via phone, and I got the letter in the mail a few days later.</p>

<p>Can anyone give me the link for transfer applicants login account?</p>

<p>I can’t seem to find it. Thanks</p>

<p>Hi, I’m going to be a freshman in a private uiniversity in MA next year and really want to transfer to Brown. I was wondering, how much do they look at your HS grades if you get a really good gpa freshman year? Also, is it harder to transfer from a lesser known school, as in almost impossible?</p>
