To Brown?

Transfer Students
1

<p>In order to transfer to Brown, you must have completed one full year of study, or its equivalent. What is considered equivalent? How many units would that be? I am currently a freshman and I am thinking of applying as a transfer. I have 32 units and I am about to complete 21 units. If anyone could help me that would be great! Also, if you could chance me that would be great as well. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>For your oversea experiences, do you have to pay for the flight tickets yourself? just wondering...</p>

<p>You are going to have 52 credits by the end of your first semester???? Oh my god that's insane, if you have a 4.0 with 52 credits at the end of your first semester I think you have a very good chance at UCB, UCLA, and Northwestern but Brown and UPenn are going to be tough to get into they will put more emphasis on your HS GPA and ACT score which are not bad, but low compared to ivy league standards....so your chances are borderline to low, same with UChicago that ACT hurts you, but who knows the 52 credits by the end of your 1st semester might make up for your HS ACT and GPA</p>

<p>thanks! ucsd uses the quarter system though</p>

<p>I think you have a very good shot. your oversea experiences are insanely outstanding.... good luck!!</p>

<p>You would have a pretty ok shot this year (I say that looking at your hs stats, which aren't horrible).
However, if you'd really like to maximize your chances at Brown, I suggest you apply during your sophomore year. If you keep this up and apply as a junior transfer, barring some sort of catastrophe you will probably get in. The same goes for other ivies and perhaps U of chicago.</p>

<p>For Brown, Penn and NU, I think you need to raise the ACT score.</p>
