Hi all, I’ve been searching hard over the internet about any discussions held about Amherst’s Fall 2020 transfers but couldn’t find any 
so I thought of starting one 
How many of you applied to Amherst for Fall this year and are there any much international applicants? :thinkingface:
Hi! I applied this year, but I am not an international student (but I do live on the opposite side of the country…lol).
Hi @brightplaces sooooo nice to hear from you. I’ve been waiting all these days to get a response from someone - made me think as if I’m the only one who applied lol.
What other colleges did you apply to?
@cheryllpatras I am applying to the Claremont Colleges, Williams, Columbia, Barnard, Tufts, Occidental, NYU, Emory and some of the UCs. What about you?
I applied to Williams too. In addition to that, I applied to Berea and got rejected in January lol and I know the reason: I had a really pointless and non-ambitious college essay sent to them.
Anyways, I applied to Colby and Connecticut College as well. Do you know when is Amherst releasing the decisions? Mid-April or Mid-May?
There’s a lot of confusion on this - the two pages on their website display different dates. One says by mid-April and the other says by 15 May.
I asked the admission teams and they said Mid-April - are you also waiting for mid-april? 
If I remember correctly it is Mid-April. However, I am sure waitlist results or an additional roll-out of decisions may come out in May (oooh a pun…lol).
Oh cool, I had no idea that there would be a wait list or additional results. Well thanks for letting me know.
I hope some more people from Amherst join the conversation here so we can spend our waiting period easily???
Hello! I’m also applying to Amherst as a transfer, as well as to Brown, Williams, Pomona, and other liberal arts colleges. I’m happy to have found this thread!
Hi Jane, nice to meet you ? Did you see William’s post on IG about decision announcement?
Hi @cheryllpatras! It is nice to meet you too ? no I haven’t yet! I’ll check it out. Thank you for letting me know! I hope you are all well and healthy. Please take care!
Oh wow I just checked their ig @cheryllpatras. Thank you again for telling me. Is this also for transfers? I am getting so many butterflies. Best of luck to all of us!! ?
@Jane31 you’re welcome ? and stay safe too?
I’d asked them in the comments if it’s for transfer students but I haven’t heard anything clearly from them. Let’s see.
I just saw a thread about Amherst’s regular decisions that are coming out tomorrow. I suppose that’s the same case with Williams. 24th isn’t our (transfer) date - it’s for regular first year students probably ?
@cheryllpatras yes, you are right! I emailed them and Williams’ decisions for transfers will come out April 15 or sooner. I can’t wait for Amherst to come out. Ahh! Best of luck to all of us 
Best of luck Jane?
I’m so nervous ?
Aww thank you @cheryllpatras! I understand… it’s quite nerve-wracking especially with all of the waiting at home. It will be okay! I believe in all of us. Take care!
Hi guys! I hope you are all doing well and in good health. I wanted to update you with the response I received after reaching out to an admissions officer.
“ We hope to have decisions released by mid-April this year, but we hope you can remain flexible in case the disruptions to work flow mean that we must release decisions at a later date.
Regardless of when the release date may be, all applicants will receive an email a few days prior to decision release indicating that we will soon be notifying applicants. Once decisions are officially released you will also receive an email saying that there has been an update to your Application Status Portal.”
Oh, thank you so much for the update, Jane. Is this response from Williams or Amherst?
@cheryllpatras You’re welcome! This is for Amherst. But I asked Williams too and this was the response “Transfer decisions will be released by April 15, but we’ll try to get them out sooner if possible. You’ll receive an email as soon as your decision is available.” Take care!
Awesome, you’re the best!! Take care of yourself and stay safe, buddy!
