Transfer Guide To Applying To Brown: Application Timelines


The deadline for all transfer application documents—with the exception of the CSS PROFILE financial aid form—is March 1. If you plan to apply for financial aid, the CSS PROFILE must be submitted before February 1. Please keep in mind that the deadline is the last day for submitting components of the application. While there is no specific advantage given to students who submit documents prior to deadlines, we urge you not to procrastinate. The sooner we receive all the components of your application, the sooner you can relax, knowing that we have all we need to consider you for admission!
