<p>Hi, so this is for all the people who’ve applied to Amherst for the Fall of 2012 as a transfer applicant. I couldn’t seem to find a thread of it, I know I can’t be the only one out there, so I’m making one. Leave all the information who have, please.</p>
<p>Hi–</p>
<p>Non-standard applicant here. And it’s my first-choice.</p>
<p>I have applied as a transfer for the fall 2012 semester. Amherst is definitely my top pick by far. I also am a non-traditional student.</p>
<p>By non-traditional do you guys mean African American first generation? Because I am as well. Do you guy wanna post y’all’s stats and where y’all are transferring from? I’m coming from the University of Texas in Arlington…</p>
<p>I’m non-traditional in that I did not go to college directly after high school. Instead, I worked for four years. I am currently at Montgomery College in MD.</p>
<p>Oh. When I called them back like last semester the admissions office said that most of their transfers were from a community college/2 year college.</p>
<p>Yea, I think about 60% or so tend to be from a CC.</p>
<p>Stats:
GPA: 4.0 - 30 credits complete
SAT: 2090 (CR: 750 - M: 640 - W: 700)</p>
<p>Extra-curricular: College club leadership position and weekly volunteer work</p>
<p>Ahh mine:</p>
<p>GPA: 4.0
SATS: didn’t submit, scared</p>
<p>umm was in International Baccalaureate in high school, got 30 hours of college credit. Completing 30 this year.</p>
<p>Technically a sophomore from credit hours but I call myself a freshman</p>
<p>EC’s in college: Volunteer, Dean’s List, Black Student’s Association, Big Brothers Big Sisters</p>
<p>High School: Spanish/French/National Honor Society, Academic Quiz League, Junior Worlds Affairs Council, Future Business Leaders of America. Held office in all.</p>
<p>sigh…</p>
<p>Word is that not much attention is paid to secondary school performance among the non-traditional students. I know of two current non-traditional Amherst students there who had under a 2.4 GPA in high school.
This semester I have five classes and two more in the summer, so I guess I’m a sophomore and a half, but who knows what will transfer.
I actually hope that the answer is not too much, so I can spend as much time at Amherst as possible :)</p>
<p>Haha but I’m traditional I think no? I attended university right after high school. Well that information was asked for on the Common App so eh it might be considered. I just want to hear back…some colleges that had the same notify date as Amherst like NYU and UT Austin are already sending out notifications.</p>
<p>Yes, you are definitely traditional. I was just giving an explanation for why I did not include my high school stats. The results seem to come out in early May for all my schools, so it’s going to be a rocky/joyous week leading into finals :-/</p>

<p>Looking through old threads, looks like decisions will be released mid-May.</p>
<p>This thread is just making me lose hair…</p>
<p>Hopeful cynicism is the disposition to take, here.</p>
<p>The time’s approachin’</p>
<p>Can’t get here fast enough. The anticipation is killing me.</p>
