**** official brown u 2016 transfers ****

Oh wow! I wish I had known that, I sent all of mine out today in the mail.

What happens if your professor won’t give you your mid semester grade and says he only calculates grade at the end of term?

Has anyone not received a portal yet?

@CharlesDavis I applied on March 1st and haven’t received one yet either

Hi, Here are my stats. I’m trying to transfer to Engineering. What do you guys think are my chances?

Major - ECE (Freshman)
Current school -> Top 40 engineering school (very reputed private university)
Transfer Appplication -> Sophomore standing for ECE
GPA - 3.95

Course Rigor - First semester -> freshman courses, Second semester -> One sophomore course and rest are tough freshman courses
Citizenship -> International Indian (which is why I didn’t have AP credits)
HS GPA : 98%
SAT 2 - 1600/1600 (Math L2, Phy)
SAT 1 - (760M, 650CR, 600W) (Doesn’t matter much for transfer does it?)

ECs -

College :
Creating new sports club (Founder, President)
Part of Executive Board of a very important club
Active Member of 11 other clubs (Most of which are engineering)
Involved in close to 10 projects one of which is sponsored by my current school (they kind of searched for me).
Working as a Research Assistant currently.
One of the scholars of a very famous international organization (don’t want to go into specifics to keep my identity a secret.
Bottomline: You can find my name listed on this international organization’s website)
High School:
Research abstract done for research that I did
Won many national science competitions with very good ranks within state
Participated and won a variety of Competitions (MUNs, etc etc)
Awarded honorary title
Founded organization
… there are more ECs

Other information:

-> Seeking FA
-> Have solid reason to transfer (course that is not currently available here but is there)
-> Write good essays

Resume/Stats wise, they look very good. Biggest thing that we don’t know if your transfer rationale - Brown needs to see a justified reason for you wanting to leave at least a somewhat comparable university (ranking/prestige wise), to come to Brown. @transferind97

Still haven’t gotten my portal login… What about you guys?

Me either

Me neither. I’m starting to get concerned because I called about a week ago and they said a couple of days. I applied mid-February

I haven’t gotten mine either…

Me neither, guess it just takes time…

Still haven’t received a login… anyone else?

Me neither

You have to call Tech support and ask them for your login info.

Hi everyone!
Ah! I didn’t know about this group but I also send in an application! I think you are all great students, and everyone has a good shot at getting in! ^.^
I know it’s late but could anyone chance me please? Thank you!!

School: UC Davis (I’m from the Bay Area…)

I’m currently a freshman so if I were to be admitted I’d enter as a second year/sophomore

College GPA: 3.9-4.0 (Part of Dean’s List)

College Major: English Literature with an emphasis in Creative Writing

HS GPA: I think overall it was like 3.7-3.8, but I was in the top 7%

SAT/ACT Scores: 25 ACT, no SAT…

APs: 3 for AP Calc AB, 3 for Psychology, 3 for English Lit, and 4 for Gov

Significant ECs: Umm I volunteer on a weekly basis, I’m also part of Photo Club (board member) and Ballroom Dance Team

Hooks: Latina/Arab, underprivileged family, went through hardships because my father had cancer…
Umm I love writing, and have been published twice in the past year (two poems published in a teen literary magazine, and I also published my flash fiction in an international literary magazine in Canada, and that magazine had an international competition and I won third prize in the flash fiction category). I also participated a national competition (based in the Bay Area) and won first prize in the “nonfiction” category. I was very recently offered to do an internship in Europe for a publishing company, but I’m not sure if I’m going yet because of the money LOL…

Good luck to everyone by the way! You are all very bright! :slight_smile:

Got mine! :smiley:

Can someone post the link to the application status page? I created my login, but I don’t know where to put my info.
