Has disaster struck?!

Transfer Students

<p>Is it all over?</p>

<p>I really want to transfer to brown. I got waitlilsted last year. I am at tulane now. Do I have any chance still?</p>

<p>I was doing quite well until I bombed my math final. Now I have a c+ in math (a 79…the teacher just won’t give it to me). If I ace everything else the highest I can have is a 3.51, and I still have the glaring c on my transcript. </p>

<p>I’ve been very sick all semester which has a lot to do with my grade – should I get a doctors note?</p>

<p>Other stats:
SAT
1370</p>

<p>I’ve got great extra curriculars and everything else. In tight with the rugby team, though not directly recruited because it’s club. </p>

<p>Do I have any chance left at all?!!?</p>

<p>Can anyone help me?</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance because you were waitlisted, also I am not sure about the academics at your school, but at mine, Wake Forest, C’s are common especially if you take a science, math or business class because they live on grade deflation. Brown looks at more than just numbers so you still have a good chance. For transferring to Brown there is no specific formula of stats, as said before they admit people not numbers. Chill and don’t stress too much. Good luck!</p>

<p>Tulane math and science are very hard (and I managed to get the hardest teachers), but I’m not sure if Brown knows that.</p>

5

<p>Perhaps you could submit an explanation for those specific circumstances.</p>

6

<p>Which math and science class was it?</p>

<p>Hopefully not Calc I, II or Multivar Calc.</p>

7

<p>It was calc 1. I’m a first semester freshman.</p>

8

<p>Yes, somewhere on your app, be sure to note that you’ve been very sick. Maybe they’ll give you some leeway.</p>

<p>Hey I was just wondering how challenging is the courses at Tulane in the Political Science, International Relations/Studies departments? Also The commentor above, how is Wake Forest Departments in Poli Sci, Ir/Is? Thanks. Also is it hard to distinguish yourself at the universitiy? Is it very competitive? Oh sorry for positing on this thread, but you do have a reasonable chance at transferring. I would do the whole explanation about the courses,etc.</p>

<p>It’s my impression that the liberal arts courses at Tulane aren’t super hard. The math and science ones are!</p>

11

<p>I may be able to get the math grade pass/fail or something.
I didn’t ace everything else (A-…blahh) so right now I have like a 3.2. If I get math pass/fail I’ll have like a 3.7. But there’s still a pass/fail on there…</p>

<p>Is Brown going to be less likely to want me because I’ve had a history of so many health problems (there was stuff in high school, too)?</p>
