I’m not going to directly assess this because 1. I’m woefully underqualified & 2. From what I can remember (I may be wrong) the number of transfers that Brown accepts annually are a single digit. I read an article a while back explaining that ivy league transfers are especially difficult because those that have a genuine chance often come from highly prestigious schools, and as such are expected to provide a genuine reason for wishing to transfer (which you seem to have, though it’s likely something they’ve heard before) and will be subject to a more rigorous scrutiny than normal applicants. I can’t say for certain if this makes admission more difficult, but they definitely give serious candidates close consideration.

The reason you give for wanting to leave may raise a red flag because it can also infer you change your mind easily, and as I’m sure you’re aware, top schools want students that will stay and graduate (thus not screwing over their graduation rate).

We can talk more if you want, feel free to dm me with other questions about transferring. I research when my anxiety gets bad and it’s always bad so I have a lot of information I’ll never use.
