Amherst College 2012 Fall Transfer

<p>Don’t say that! We want to keep our hopes up, for all of us. Let’s hope that we’re happy by this time next week. (:</p>

<p>Bring on the ice cream</p>

<p>Mine will be green tea ice cream :)</p>

<p>You just became my best friend.</p>

<p>Are most people here non traditional by the way?</p>

<p>I believe just 3 of us, if I’m not mistaken.</p>

<p>YES GREEN TEA ICE CREAM. Good life choices.</p>

<p>And I’m traditional.</p>

<p>What is a non traditional? I took about 2 years off (after graduation) to work to help support my family in Jamaica. I explained that in a separate letter. l guess that makes me non-traditional?</p>

<p>Yeab I’m traditional too.</p>

<p>I guess you’re non traditional ronlo…ah.</p>

<p>Hahahahah good life choices??</p>

<p>No, we’ll be jumping around and dancing the can-can in happiness and meeting in the fall and laughing about this agonizing wait.</p>

<p>But Earl grey ice cream is so much superior!</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure I count as non-traditional? I actually left high school after 9th grade to go to my current college, so I don’t have a diploma, but not entirely sure if that makes me technically non-traditional…</p>

<p>I don’t know who that A person is, but he/she just earned like 20 cool points.</p>

<p>How old are you Jameson?</p>

<p>I love how much of a little family we are :)… Even though we are competing with each other <em>game face</em> .</p>

<p>I…I forgot we were each other’s competition</p>

<p>Well, competing for multiple spots.</p>

<p>Hey WorriedAlways. I’ve just been reading the posts here and feeling better because I’m not the only one suffering over this :slight_smile: Misery likes company, or so they say…</p>

<p>Haha I’ve been wondering why this thread has like over 4,000 views but like 7 or so people commenting. So what’s you story if you don’t mind sharing?</p>

<p>Also, does you admissions status say the March 30th thingy like the others?</p>

<p>My story… International student, currently going to a 4-year tiny private school in AZ where no one cares about school and classes are mediocre at best. Amherst is my first choice, followed by Reed. I haven’t heard back from any school, which could be a good thing, since I’ve heard from a couple people who have already received rejection letters for transfer. And yes, my status says March 30th too, but I don’t think it means anything. I guess we’ll know this week. I’m luckily in finals and auditing 2 classes so all my waking time is spent working, so I have less time to think about other stuff… What other schools are you considering?</p>

<p>From where have people received rejection letters?</p>

<p>I applied to UT and NYU :/</p>

<p>Gar I still think it does!</p>

<p>This is definitely the most active board for the schools I applied to, which makes it my favorite. I applied to Lehigh University, University of Rochester, Brown University’s RUE program and Evergreen State College. I think Lehigh is posting tomorrow and U of R’s site said there’s a decision but the letter hasn’t made it yet. The RUE program doesn’t send out letters till early-mid May, and I have a feeling it will be more like mid-May.</p>

<p>NYU totally has like over 40 pages, and of course UT’s thread is huge, so this is my smallest one o.O</p>
