I know 3 international students who transferred from Bryn Mawr to Brown in the same year. That’s the good news. The bad news (for most of us) is that all of them were full-paying applicants.

P.S. Don’t overload on ECs. You are only going to be accepted if the admission people see that you can contribute something to the university. If you are an average student compared to their student body but you are very active outside of the classroom, that would be one reason to admit you. Another reason might be that you are an asset inside the classroom because you contribute so many good ideas to discussions. Whatever your strength is, you are better off developing that one strength to its full potential than trying to do a little bit of everything.
