If you think about it, someone has to leave to make a space for a transfer, if they enrolled properly. Very few Amherst students leave. Amherst prioritizes CC students and military vets for those spots.

@PioneerValleymum will your child accept the offer for spring?

62

@downbutnotout They should maybe reconsider you for that cool reference and your sense of humour.

63

I was waitlisted, I didn’t even know that was an option for transfers?? Did anyone else get waitlisted? They had me check if I would be interested in coming in fall 2018, spring 2019, or both

64

Yes, she will. She is on a waitlist for fall admission, though!

65

My daughter was waitlisted last year but never got off the waitlist. She tried again this year and was accepted.

66

Well congratulations! I hope fall works out @PioneerValleymum

67

Congrats to those transfers accepted! For those who weren’t, best wishes wherever you land. If this source is in the know, could be why fewer transfer applicants accepted-

I too applied for transfer and was waitlisted by Amherst. Williams accepted me, though. Kind of weird how that worked seeing that I was missing some of the qualifying material for Williams. Funny how the world works.

69

Any update for those on the waitlist?

70

Just heard from admissions I got off the waitlist for spring!! Good luck to those still waiting to hear back :slight_smile:

71

Congrats @birks14 <:-P

72

Hey y’all! I realize this forum is probably dead at this point, but I also got accepted to Amherst for the Spring semester! I’m incredibly excited to start!

Quick question though: due to specific circumstances, I have to be enrolled as a full time student for Fall 2018. Do you think that taking all of my classes P/F (because they won’t transfer to Amherst) will reflect badly on me when I apply to grad school?

73

^ you should discuss that with Amherst, @AllDogsAreGood - and congratulations!

74

What did she do in the meantime? Was she in CC last year? Did she do another year of CC classes?

75

Hello everyone! I know it’s a little too late, but I am an international transfer interested in applying to Amherst.

  • Could anyone please tell me if I need to submit new TOEFL to Amherst? I have my old scores, but they are not available on the TOEFL website, so I just self-reported them in Common App. I know they ask for it, but will they consider my application with the old ones? Will that strongly hold against me???
  • Do I stand a chance? College GPA 3.5-3.6 School GPA 4.0 double major in natural science and humanities research in humanities work experience (again related to my humanities major) volunteer experience at a non-profit extracurriculars art, music
76

Is there a thread for 2019-2020 transfers?

77

I was also looking for it. Seems like none.
