<p>How difficult is it to get accepted as a transfer to Brown ?</p>
<p>I'm not sure, but keep in mind there is no fin. aid for transfers.</p>
<p>I'll let you know in a month.</p>
<p>There is fin aid (limited though) for transfers now.</p>
<p>no fin aid for transfers??? ah crap. i guess that means i'll have to figure out something else if i dont get off the wailist... no fin aid would rule out transfering.</p>
<p>not only is there not much aid, they accept people based on need, which i assume means they accept a bunch of rich people.</p>
<p>score one for me checking the "I don't need aid" box!</p>
<p>but do you need aid maize?</p>
<p>and the acceptance rate is typically much higher for transfers than frosh applicants</p>
<p>Money isn't a problem. Dad was a little irked by me wanting to transfer from 12k a year to 41k a year, but I talked him into it.</p>
<p>Argh, I guess I am going to have to call them and tell them I don't want aid. <em>deep sigh</em></p>
<p>you're so ridiculously lucky maize. its so unfair.</p>
<p>i HAVE to apply for aid because my efc is so low that it would be ridic to give up the possibility of aid</p>
<p>However, i love Brown enough that I would be willing to do anything to go there, and would pay for it without aid. so i'm in a tight spot</p>
<p>maybe i should write them a letter. what do you think?</p>
<p>I think you should call them and ask. Talk to an admissions officer live and tell him your situation. If you'd be willing to pay for it w/o aid, tell him that, and ask if you should write a letter.</p>
<p>Clay, I'm calling tomorrow, too.</p>

I could have sworn they said they were need blind above the box asking for aid? I only checked no because I knew hell would freeze over before my family would be qualified for finaid - no use in wasting my/their time.</p>
<p>for the 8,000 time, they are <em>not need blind</em></p>
<p>Don't bother, guys, the decisions have been made...the letters will be mailed Friday.</p>

<p>Jesus, I must have been out to lunch when I was doing the application. I could have sworn it said they were need blind and mailed decisions on MAY 15.</p>
<p>ARE YOU SERIOUS... FRIDAY??? Who'd you hear from?</p>
