TRANSFER STUDENTS HAVE DIFFERENT NEEDS AND QUESTIONS, WE’RE HERE TO PROVIDE SUPPORT SPECIFICALLY FOR HIGH ACHIEVING COMMUNITY COLLEGE TRANSFER STUDENTS

Amherst’s efforts to identify and enroll the best college students in the world, regardless of background, received a major boost thanks to a grant from the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation. The grant allows the college to more effectively reach out to high-achieving community college students interested in completing their undergraduate education at any selective institution.

Our Transfer Hotline enables current Amherst College students who themselves transferred from a community college to answer questions and provide support to community college students interested in transferring to any selective colleges and universities.

To use our hotline, you can call our phone line and leave a message or you can email your question and a transfer mentor will respond and provide support as needed.

If you would like to submit a question to one of our mentors, click here and answer the following questions.

You can also read our transfer mentors' profiles and learn how they went through the transfer admissions process themselves.

Feel free to use our online resources for general college admissions.
