Amherst

Transfer Students
1

<p>So I was accepted to amherst - which is quite nice, I guess. I'm curious if anyone else was accepted, and if anyone knows anything about transferring credit there. I'm under the impression that there are no distribution requirements, so it's merely the number of credits that matters?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>hey, when were you notified by Amherst? Just wondering because I applied too...and am anxiously waiting. I believe you are correct about the credits, everything should transfer theoretically due to the open curriculum.</p>

<p>I received it in the mail on saturday, forgot to open it until today.</p>

<p>Oh ok, cool. Congrats. I'm surprised they mailed so early, because their website said not until late may. Are you definitely going there or waiting to hear from others?</p>

<p>I'm still waiting on Harvard and Stanford, but it's likely (because those are tough school for transfers, and don't have open curriculums) that I'll end up at Amherst. Good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks, you too.</p>

<p>I applied to Amherst as well... I'm curious, what did your acceptance letter look like? Big or small envelope, etc., and what was the postmark date? On their website it says they notify in late May, so I'm surprised you already heard.</p>

<p>I second that question.</p>
