You’ve probably already seen this, but:

Brown website:

All transfer applicants will be admitted to Brown on a need-aware basis starting for the 2005-2006 academic year. Need aware means that financial need will be taken into account in making the admission decision. Financial assistance is available on a limited basis to assist transfer students, who enter fall 2005 or later, in covering the cost of a Brown education. To be considered for financial assistance students must apply for financial aid when they make their initial transfer application. Students who do not apply for and receive financial assistance with their initial application, but suffer a dramatic change in a family’s financial situation will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

Students will continue to be awarded those federal/state grants and loans for which they qualify, regardless of whether they apply for financial aid their initial year. The Office of Financial Aid will continue to assist admitted transfer students in their efforts to obtain loans and federal/state aid.

There is also a Q&A section at http://financialaid.brown.edu/Cmx_Content.aspx?cpId=56

I would send the letter - couldn’t hurt.
