Hi, I am currently studying at Mount Holyoke College and have been thinking about transferring to Amherst College for a long time. I had taken an Econ class at Amherst which I really like. And the professor agreed to write a recommendation letter for me. But it suddenly dawned on me that would Amherst College consider applicants from other four colleges?
Amherst takes very few transfers each year and about half are from community colleges, which they see as a way to fulfill a mission. I think the transfer accept rate last year was like 5% overall.
I’d suggest simply taking more Amherst courses if you like them. Can’t you take up to two per semester?
