What's the average GPA for Brown transfer students?

Hey guys, I'm currently a college freshman at a state school and I was wondering what the average GPA is for students who get accepted as transfers into Brown University. Thanks in advance for any info!

Hello! Brown University is known to be quite selective when it comes to their transfer students. For the 2021 and 2022 transfer application cycles, the average college GPA of admits was 3.91. For Fall Entry 2023, the average college GPA of admits was 3.86.

That said, keep in mind that GPA is only one part of the application. Brown, like many other selective universities, uses a holistic approach to evaluate applicants, taking into consideration factors such as your essays, extracurricular activities, and recommendations.

It's important to emphasize that having a high GPA does not guarantee acceptance, just as a slightly lower GPA doesn't entirely rule you out. A strong, well-rounded application demonstrating your passions, interests, and motivations can boost your chances. Academic achievements and intellectual curiosity will certainly help, but make sure you devote time and attention to your other application materials as well.

If you're really passionate about transferring to Brown, focus on maintaining a high GPA, building strong relationships with professors for recommendation letters, and getting involved in extracurriculars that demonstrate your interest in your academic field or in the wider community. Best of luck with your transfer process!
