Transferring to Brown

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I just finished my freshmen year at the University of Michigan and am thinking about applying as a junior transfer student to a few universities.</p>

<p>I was just wondering what the average GPA for an admitted transfer student at Brown was. If any of you guys could let me know that would be great.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I doubt anyone here knows.</p>

<p>From collegeboard’s admission rate numbers you can infer that the average GPA is very high.
Transfer Students</p>

<pre><code>* Number of transfers who applied for fall term: 972

  • Number of transfers who were admitted for fall term: 117
  • Number of transfers who enrolled for fall term: 76
  • Terms in which transfers may enroll: Fall, Spring
  • Transfers accepted at these levels: Sophomore, junior

<p>The number of accepted students varies from year to year, but is always small.</p>

<p>i was assuming most people knew their GPA had to be high to get into Brown</p>

<p>Why do you wish to leave UMich?</p>

<p>It’s more why I want to go to Brown then leave Michigan. But I must say I have been slightly disappointed with the level of instruction at Ann Arbor and the quality of classes. Perhaps it is because I have mostly took intro courses but that is why I point out that it is more about me wanting to go to Brown than wanting to leave Michigan.</p>

<p>I wish you the best of luck.</p>

<p>Do transfer students’ “Level of interest” still matter? Just wondering…</p>

<p>btw the person who runs the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology, Sue Alcock, went to UMich and tells a story about how her ringtone is their fight song which went off at a Brown event with the suits once. Great professor if you get a chance.</p>
