<p>im an international student and i go to wesleyan college. i applied to amherst last year and didnt get in but i have my heart set on going there. what are the chances of getting in if you are applying as a transfer student?</p>
<p>Wesleyan… University?</p>
<p>yeah sorry,</p>
<p>…i had just woken up. still… statistics?</p>
<p>Check out the Reports to Secondary Schools [url=<a href=“https://cms.amherst.edu/aboutamherst/glance/secondary_school_reports]here[/url”>https://cms.amherst.edu/aboutamherst/glance/secondary_school_reports]here[/url</a>]. Last year they accepted 18 out of 276.</p>
<p>If you didnt get in as a transfer, do not apply again. Most schools say that you need another year before you can re-apply. You will most likely get rejected again because you are international and they are need-aware.

<p>donjuan, maybe I misread but I thought fitchmoose was saying he/she didn’t get in as a freshman last year, not that he/she didn’t get in as a transfer. Either way, though, you are right: chances for an international student (especially one needing aid) are not very good anyway and probably won’t be any better as a transfer. Especially since the class of 2011 is much larger than was initially anticipated.</p>
