<p>I am trying to make up my mind as to whether or not I should put brown on my transfer list. I was rejected for freshman admission, so I am wondering if it is going to be any different this time around? I'm not sure how much about me will be so different that they should accept me this time. Sure, this time I'd be applying from UC Berkeley (attending berkeley as an out of stater is a financial nightmare that I don't how I got myself into the first place), but 70 bucks is a lot to spend when you're so uncertain... Plus, I need financial aid and they're need aware for transfers.. </p>
<p>Hmm what to do!!!???? I've had brown on my mind since the very beginning of the admissions process, and now I'm wondering if I should just let it go and move on.. Everyone else is telling me that I should.. Everyone says brown looks for an extremely unique kind of individual, a 'brown' kind of individual. Maybe I should accept that there's just something inherently un-brown about me and stop chasing after it??!!</p>
<p>I guess just think about how good a chance you have being admitted based on your current stats... if you have a pretty decent one I'd apply. $70 is a lot to spend when you're unsure, but if you'll always regret not trying it might be worth it.</p>

<p>There's no way to know what will happen this time, but a freshman rejection does NOT mean that you won't be taken seriously as a transfer candidate.</p>
<p>If Brown is your ultimate dream school, and it clearly is, then I don't know why you wouldn't give it a shot. People who don't apply have a 100% rejection rate.</p>
<p>I was rejected as a freshman candidate. I'm applying again as a junior transfer. Brown is my ultimate dream school. Given that, my chances aren't all that great.</p>
<p>I really am not an expert, but I think it's worth the 70 bucks. I would even be willing to donate a few dollars to your application fund! :) Shelling out 70 bones may have you eating ramen for a couple of weeks, but it seems that wondering whether or not you would've been accepted is much worse a fate....just my opinion. good luck</p>
<p>When I applied as a transfer last year, I was accepted to at least one school that had been a flat-out rejection out of high school. Sure, I think my essays were a lot better the second time, but go for it... Alternatively, if you have good friends at Berkeley and feel relatively comfortable there, you could bear through the academics for another year, and by then your idea of what sort of college you want to be at will have matured anyway, and you'll have a strong college record to show your abilities.</p>
<p>I think that if you really want to go to Brown and after all these years you are still thinking about it, you should apply. You have nothing to lose and the fact that you applied before may show your commitment to the school. Even if worst case scenario you don't get in, you are still at a very highly respected university.</p>
