<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Let me first state my credentials:
- GPA is 3.84
- VP of Service for Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.
- Founder and President of the Geology Club at my community college.
- Work at school as a writing peer-tutor</p>
<p>I'm applying to Amherest College as a transfer student for Fall 13 and want to know from past Amherst students/transfer students/or any other students that applied if this looks fitting for the Amherst community...</p>
<p>I love the fact that Amherst transfer students are 60% from community colleges.</p>
<p>The main defect is that the community college I attended before this my grades were very poor, which made me ineligible for the Jack Kent Cook Transfer Scholarship. It's a three year gap between colleges so I don't know how much the board weighs on past schools.</p>
<p>Thoughts?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
