<p>Hello all!</p>
<p>I am wondering if anyone could give me some advice/perhaps chance me as a transfer applicant to Amherst. My biggest worry is that I am from Hampshire College and thus I do not have a GPA or grades, which can normally be a confusing problem for an admissions committee. On the other hand, all of my classes culminate in a written report on my progression and work in that class, and I have done very well at Hampshire so the reports are glowing. </p>
<p>I did take some College classes in High School where I received a 3.9 GPA and I have the transcripts for those classes. I also will be taking classes this semester at both Smith and Amherst, so I am hopeful to have preliminary grading from that as well as a recommendation letter from the Amherst professor. </p>
<p>Can anyone speak to whether that might mitigate the fact that I have no GPA score from Hampshire? Has anyone ever heard of a Hampshire student transferring to Amherst before?</p>
<p>On the off chance that someone will chance me, my statistics are as follows:</p>
<p>Second Year Student
3.9 GPA from High School College classes
3.6 High School GPA
Pretty average SAT scores, but I will not be sending those in
