Why does your family want you to attend Amherst? Can they afford for you to transfer? In another thread you said you have a couple of low grades at Amherst, and good grades at a cc that won’t transfer back to Amherst. If finances matter, you need to focus on affordability. There aren’t many grants for transfers, and schools that offer them will likely take your GPA into account. How much can/will your parents pay without borrowing?
