What are the transfer requirements for Brown University?

Hi everyone! I'm currently at another college, but I've developed an interest in transferring to Brown University. Can you tell me what their requirements are for transfer students?

Thanks in advance!

Hello! Transferring to Brown University can be a great opportunity, and I'd be happy to provide you with information on their requirements for transfer applicants.

1. Common Application or Coalition Application: You'll need to complete either the Common Application or Coalition Application, including the Brown Questions and Writing Supplement, specifically for transfer applicants.

2. College Report: The College Report, available in the Common Application or Coalition Application, should be completed by an official (e.g., dean, adviser, or registrar) at your current institution. It provides information about your standing and good conduct.

3. Academic Transcripts: You'll need to submit official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended (including dual enrollment courses taken in high school), as well as your high school transcript.

4. Two Academic Recommendations: Brown requires two recommendations from instructors who have taught you in college-level courses. Ideally, one should be from a humanities or social science instructor and the other from a math or science instructor.

5. Mid-Term Report: You must submit a Mid-Term Report with your current semester grades, if you're applying while classes are still in session.

6. Standardized Tests: Brown University no longer requires SAT or ACT scores from transfer applicants, but you're welcome to submit them if you believe they'll enhance your application.

7. TOEFL/IELTS/Duolingo English Test: If your first language is not English and your high school education wasn't in English, you must provide proof of English proficiency through the TOEFL, IELTS, or Duolingo English Test.

8. Application Fee or Fee Waiver: There's a $75 application fee, but if that's a financial burden, you can request a fee waiver through your chosen application platform.

When evaluating transfer applicants, Brown considers a variety of factors, such as college performance (GPA, course rigor, and quality of institution) and your fit with Brown's educational approach and community. Your extracurricular activities, work experiences, and essay will also be reviewed to gain a more comprehensive understanding of who you are as an individual and what you can bring to the community.

Please don't forget to check the deadlines for transfer applications. Good luck with your application and hope this information helps!
