Replies to: ***Brown University 2018 Transfer Students Official Discussion Thread***
HS GPA: ~94/100
College GPA: 4.0
ACT/SAT score: 35
Concentration: Behavioral Decision Sciences/Ethnic Studies
Applying for FA (Yes/No)?: Yes
Reason for transferring: Currently in top 20 LAC, but am looking for resources more specific to my area of study without compromising a close-knit liberal arts education.
Transfer year: Fall '18
HS GPA: 3.74/4.00
College GPA: 3.788/4.000
ACT/SAT score: 29
Concentration: Public Health/Human and Health Biology
Applying for FA (Yes/No)?: Yes
Reason for transferring: Want to pursue public health at my own institution, but there are very limited resources at my home institution. Also want a smaller student community, as I come from a very large public ivy (approx. 20k undergrads).
HS GPA: 9.71/11, 10.47/11 Senior Year
College GPA: 4.0 A/A+
Mid-term GPA: 4.0 A/A+
SAT: 1570
Concentration: Earth Science
Applying for FA: No
Reason for transferring: Limited resources, smaller student community, family is from the Northeast.
HS GPA: 3.85W
College GPA: 4.0 both semesters
ACT/SAT score: 2310
Concentration: Economics
Applying for FA (Yes/No)?: No
Reason for transferring: Limited research opportunities(emailed profs for months and none did work in my interest) and more motivated student body. Also, for a smaller environment.
HS GPA: 3.9 UW and 4.6 W
College GPA: 3.7
SAT score: 1370 (low, but hoping other things make up for that)
Concentration: International Relations with an emphasis on econ/development
Applying for FA (Yes/No)?: Yes
Reason for transferring: I originally chose my school because of its strong psychology program, but after changing majors/concentrations to IR, staying at my current school would be harmful to my goals. I like that Brown's open curriculum and class offerings fit with my desired/proposed senior thesis, and I learn better in smaller classroom settings. I also prefer the NE. Everyone I know at Brown loves it there.
Good luck to everyone! You all seem like strong and great candidates. Fingers crossed for all of us.
