<p>Does anyone here apply for transfer admission next Fall 2014 at Amherst? I am currently a community college student.</p>
<p>I am. Not from a community college, but with 75% commuting, might as well be. I’ll guess that coming from a CC is an advantage for transfers because 60% of transfer students were from CC at Amherst (Not sure if it’s because a disproportionately large number of CC students apply, but seeing how elite Amherst is and its cross-admit competition for accepted freshmen, I’d guess there’s just as much university/college students applying as there are CC students applying. I wonder how many are from ivies).</p>
<p>Hi, I’m a transfer applicant from Toronto. My campus is super urban and has tons of Toronto locals that commute (including myself haha). How’s it going?</p>
<p>I’m a community college student applying for transfer admission! The wait is almost too much to bear :p</p>
<p>Dang. Replies in one-month intervals. Must be a small pool (hopefully lol).</p>
<p>I was looking at the transfer thread for a previous year and it was jam packed with transfer applicants, so maybe you’re right. But then again, it’s possible traffic’s gonna pick up in April. </p>
<p>Yeah, or probably some lurkers who won’t post unless they’ve been accepted</p>
<p>They want all application materials in by the end of this month. I’m still hoping they’ll get back to transfer applicants earlier than mid May…</p>
<p>anyone hears from Amherst yet? </p>
<p>nope. when we all got that email saying we got in that was intended for international students, i called and asked what was up and they said we’d know around may 10th.</p>
<p>“We” as in all applicants?</p>
<p>all or some transfer applicants got a weird letter saying that we got in. but it was followed up with a letter from admissions apologizing, they said that it was intended for international students only</p>
<p>Anyone herd from Amherst yet? Accepted or Rejected? I cannot wait to hear back!! @-) </p>
<p>If it matters, I didn’t get the “you got in” email, but I’m a Canadian applicant</p>
<p>it was for international freshman applicants. they sent it in march, it had nothing to do with transfers, it was only a computer glitch. i only brought it up because when i asked them about it, they told me that we would hear around may 10th.</p>
<p>Just called Admissions, and they said we won’t hear back until “mid-May.” We’ll get an email saying to check our status online, and that’s where we’ll see the decision. Good luck to all!</p>
<p>Wow. Not even a specific date?</p>
