Transfering...Help!

<p>I currently go to another university and at the end of my first year i’ll for sure have a 4.0 or a 3.9 GPA at the least. Plenty of extra-curriculars and about 33 hours. Only thing holding me back is my high school record. 1030/1600 SAT, 3.2/4.0 GPA, and top 34%. Haven’t taken any SAT 2 subject tests. Altough high school record is bad, college record is really great. Let me know if yall think I got a chance to transfer into Brown. Thanks yall! Either thinking Brown or Cornell.</p>

<p>What school are you at now?</p>

<p>I believe Brown strongly recommends test scores and requires students to request a waiver if you don't want to send them your scores. If you're at a competitive university now and have received that good of a GPA, you have a chance. But it really does depend on where your applying from...and I would recommend taking subject tests and possibly retaking the SAT.</p>

<p>I currently go to University of Houston. If i request a waiver and not send them my SAT scores, won't it affect my admission process and give me a lesser chance? I might take SAT 2 subject tests, but with a really strong college GPA, will it matter much? Along with my SATs? Even though it is 1030/1600 (bad) do I still have a decent shot of getting in?</p>

<p>While I do think Brown is one of those schools that says test scores are the least important factor:</p>

Students must submit results from the SAT Reasoning Test and two SAT Subject Tests...</p>

<p>It should be noted that an application to Brown without results from a standardized test may be detrimental to your chances of admission.

<p>While your GPA is really great, I don't think UofH is going to be a 'competitive' enough university for your GPA alone to get you into Brown...I think you'd need test scores as well, as they've requested, to prove yourself academically.</p>
