Amherst College 2012 Fall Transfer

<p>@majoreco: When you called to confirm, what did they say? Did they say that message was right? Or that they’ve released the information yet? Like, if I were to call and ask what my status is, would they tell me?</p>

<p>They told me that I was correct when I said I was on the waitlist. They also said that admission decisions will be posted next week. If you called I doubt they would tell you since no one is supposed to know.</p>

<p>@ronlo: the Brown RUE program is a special admissions programs for anyone who has been out of high school for at least six years that does not have a Bachelor’s degree. It’s separate from regular admission and transfer admission.</p>

<p>@aska: the RUE program typically gets 100-200 applicants, and about 4-6 are selected. It’s usually better to apply that way if you have some credentials that would be better compared to other professional adults rather than typically college and HS criteria. I’m actually kind of young for the usual applicant pool.</p>

<p>I called to ask when we’re supposed to hear back and the woman hesitated and said mid-May. I then probed a bit more and said “so, maybe around next week or so?” and she said “well, maybe after that. The decisions haven’t been mailed yet.”</p>

<p>I hate how we’re not getting consistent answers at all.</p>

<p>Decisions haven’t been mailed yet? So the decisions have been made?</p>

<p>I’m assuming so. I didn’t ask that but she said they haven’t been mailed yet. Plus, @majoreco accidentally received the decision.</p>

<p>Does somebody else want to call as well? I really want to get a straightforward answer of what’s going on.</p>

<p>I called earlier to ask what to do about my other schools’ deadline, she said to ask for an extension from them because “decisions haven’t been mailed yet”</p>

<p>It wasn’t the same lady that I got before when I called last week -.-</p>

<p>Wow. That’s crazy. I didn’t even know they wait-listed transfer applicants. I would’ve loved to see my status before they mailed it though.</p>

<p>Hey guys, I just called saying that I needed to make a decision for my other schools before May 15th and they said that I had to hold on for a few more days, since letters will be mailed “some time next week”…So brace yourselves for at least 168 more hours of anxiety :(</p>

<p>thanks Askatasuna, thanks…</p>

<p>At least they were interested in you @majoreco. What were your stats like?</p>

<p>Pardon my delay/typos everyone. I’m using this application on my iPhone and AT&T clearly doesn’t like us here. </p>

<p>Okay, so by next week we should know? Sounds good. Hopefully the wait will bring about good news!</p>

<p>=( rejected from U of R, they were my last choice, and the app I put the least effort into, but I hope it’s not an indicator of other decisions.</p>

<p>It’s okay thelxinoe, hopefully Amherst will bring good news to us all.</p>

<p>I like how the thread is kinda dead now…</p>

<p>What else is there to say?</p>

<p>I don’t know…I was just saying</p>

<p>Hopefully this means that everyone has calmed down :)</p>

<p>One can only hope</p>

<p>Now I am reminded that our fates will be determined soon…haha.</p>

<p>Hi everyone, I didn’t realize there was an Amherst College thread! I just saw my online account and it says that there was a letter mailed out March 30th? Did all of you get that???</p>
