Monroe Community College -> Amherst [chance me]

Transfer Students

<p>hi,
reading this forum does not put me at ease one bit. i console myself with the fact that the people who post here must be crazy overachievers. ;p
ps: i'm new.</p>

<p>high school:
abysmal grades. a few ECs [literary magazine, japanese club, ladies varsity golf (MIP)*]. and i did take the SAT back then (670V / 660M), but it seems i don't have to tell anybody that since i'm a tranny?</p>

<p>*is it wise to include my HS clubs/sports as a junior transfer? </p>

<p>monroe community college:
GPA: 3.62
EC: vice president - Holocaust, Genocide, & Human Rights Project
[i'll also come away with a leadership certificate, but i don't know what category that falls into.]
REC: ~95% sure that i'll have two very good professor recommendations as well.</p>

<p>one last question:
i won the NY state disc golf championship 3 years in a row and placed 4th in the amateur nationals. should i mention this anywhere? is it too silly? </p>

<p>... and i would not mind at all if you fine folks suggested other colleges up my alley.</p>

<p>"i did take the SAT back then (670V / 660M), but it seems i don't have to tell anybody that since i'm a tranny?"</p>

<p>oh jeez! you might want to change the wording of that sentence, it might give the wrong impression</p>

<p>winning the disc golf championship is not very relevant to your academic pursuits, might be silly</p>

<p>we can better evaluate your chances if you tell us what your hs gpa was....however, based on what is given, it does seem that your ec's are a bit lacking...your gpa is also on the lower side coming from a community college</p>

<p>I know Amherst has partnerships with some ccs..Is this the case with your cc?</p>

<p>MCC has a partnership with Amherst College and Cornell University through the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation.</p>

<p>I suggest calling the career center to see if you're eligible for the program. MCC career center - (585) 292-2248 </p>

<p>MCC: Special</a> programs fo underrepresented students</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
