<p>If I’m interested in transferring, do I need standardized test scores, the site says I need the normal, but what about from the olden days when there was no writing on the ACT, and it still asks for it…any ideas?</p>
<p>How do you get the app? Do they mail it to you? I think it says somewhere that they'll mail it in December or something.</p>
<p>Just sign up for the mailing list and they'll send it to you in December. You need a professor to write a recommendation, you need to write a statement about why you want to transfer, and "I think" you need approval from the dean of your current college.</p>
<p>I signed up for the transfer application, but after being here for the semester, I think I'm going back to Tulane for good.</p>
<p>What makes you want to go back to Tulane? I've signed up for the mailing list a few times I think, just to make sure. Brown doesn't fit you well? How is it, the atmosphere, etc? It was my dream school out of high school, and unfortunately I didn't get in when applying as a freshman. Btw, what's your major?</p>
<p>Thanks for the info.</p>
<p>It's a little too hippy and liberal for me, I need to go down South where people dress like they care, wear shoes when they go outside, that type of stuff. Stuff normal people do. Not to mention the nonexistent social scene. I didn't go to college to study, I went to have fun ;)
It's not that Brown doesn't fit, I love it here and would love to stay if all I wanted to do was study and get good grades (I'm also on the track team at Tulane, so I guess I have to go back :)).
My classes are awesome (I'm a Cognitive Science and Linguistics major) but again, I want to have my fun, too, and I think I'll go back to New Orleans for that.</p>
<p>Really? No social life? Maybe I shouldn't go to Brown IF I get in...I want a complete college life. I guess Tulane is much more of a party school than Brown, but since high school I've really wanted to go to Brown, and If I get in it'd be really hard to say no.</p>
<p>wait, did u just say, thats there's no fun at brown. Waht?!</p>
<p>:rolleyes:</p>
<p>Hey Ecliptica, can I PM you?</p>
<p>Sure. I tell it like it is :p</p>
<p>Ecliptica: Your care-free attitude about transfering into Brown is interesting. You seem to think that obtaining a Brown degree is...well just about as easy walking over to University hall and asking the Registrar for a shiny diploma. </p>
<p>I propose that maybe the fact you are at Brown now has lulled you into a false sense of confidence about getting in as a transfer. Being at Brown for one semester as part of the Tulane displacement program in no way implies admission to the College. I'm a senior who transfered, and I'm really shocked about how care free you seem to be about getting into brown: "Well....I'm sooo positive I'll get into Brown that I don't think I should even apply, because I don't really want to end up there anyway...." Are you as confident that you'd get into Yale as a transfer where the acceptance rate is sub 3%? Your answer...probably. Or oh wait...Shirley Tilghman at Princeton will rescind the no-transfer policy just for you babe. Your posts are pretty arrogant. </p>
<p>The first time I heard about the Tulane program, I knew that it would basically create a situation where people would be lulled into a sense of confidence about getting into Brown as a transfer. Unfortunately, if everyone who is a "visiting" student applies to Brown to transfer on the same time-table, the school will undoubtedly turn away a fair portion of those people. Brown is already overextended as it is, so I highly doubt it is going to create more than 150 permanent admission slots for transfers....Just because you have a 1500+ and tops grades doesn't guarantee anything. Brown admission is notoriously fickle, and I didn't ever deign to think oh I'm "sure" I'll get in.</p>
<p>yeah, Ecliptica seems to be misguided. students who are visiting from schools that were affected by Katrina are expected to return to their home universities after this semester. there is an agreement between Brown and those schools, that Brown will not woo away its students.</p>
<p>incidentally, transferring into Brown is very competitive because not only do you have to have stats on par with the other students, but you have more to prove in terms of making the case of why Brown is the best fit for you</p>

<p>I just did that and they gave me one. Probably for being so awesome.</p>

<p>Congratulations, you got in as a transfer. I'll bet you even applied right out of high school and got rejected. I didn't. Hey, if you can assume things about me, I'll just do the same thing about you.
As for Yale, of course I'd get in, 3% is nothing man, and I'm a legacy there.
And my posts are arrogant? You came on here simply to talk about how smart and great you are and how you can get in as a transfer and no one else can. Who's arrogant now?</p>

<p>So you're worried that your status as a Brown transfer student will somehow be not that prestigious because other students can transfer now as well? We all understand, we have to be as smart as you to get in. I'm probably not, that's fine, I probably won't get in.</p>

<p>Probably not, but it isn't just grades, like you said. I don't think any of the schools I got into were on merit anyhow (I got into some pretty decent schools) so now that my college grades are fine and I still have my athletics hook, I honestly don't think it'd be that difficult. I guess when I get all those rejection letters next year I'll be proven wrong.</p>

<p>Not at all, you're just misinterpreting my posts. I didn't say I would get in, I just said it won't be that difficult.</p>

<p>Which we'll all be doing - those who want to transfer out will do so the following fall or spring semester. Again, I don't plan on transferring and leaving the school I wanted to go to originally, but I don't think it's as difficult as everyone is making it sound.</p>
<p>I hope it's not, Brown is my dream school and I really want to go there.</p>
<p>There are plenty of parties at Brown bullseye, believe me. Come visit, don't ever take one person's word for it, especially a transfer who's only been here a few weeks, especially on CC.</p>
<p>Right...I transferred from a school actually ranked higher than Brown, so coming to Brown was a "step down" if you want to talk about rankings. And I did get into Brown as a freshman. I can send you a copy of "I hope you are as pleased to receive this letter as I am to send it to you. You have been admitted to the 239th class to The College of Brown University".</p>
<p>And being a legacy at Yale isn't going to get you in there either...sorry.</p>
<p>There is no school for which Brown is a "step down." :)</p>
<p>I agree, but Ecliptica really wanted to imply I didn't get in. lol</p>
<p>Yeah, but I guess that argument got shot to **** :(</p>
<p>I wasn't trying to be mean, but I guess it came off that way. Most of my posts are jokes anyway, I never took this site seriously.</p>
