<p>Hey there, One of my friend got a perfect score in sat, and has applied for a transfer to Amherst, he is from India..
what are his chances of being admitted?</p>
<p>and he was also in the top 10%of his class…</p>
<p>If he applied as a freshman about 10% or less of qualified candidates are admitted. </p>
<p>As an international transfer, his chances are < 1%.</p>
<p>but i just saw their stats, and saw that from those who scored above 2300+, above 30% were selected!
and as for transfer, the rates might be low but i don’t think they’d be so low! </p>
<p>They are very low, last year they accepted only 20 transfer applicants, and that’s globally. Given that their entire student body is only 10% international, it’s possible that only 1 or 2 of the admitted transfers were international.</p>
<p>I’d say the chances are very close zero.</p>
