Amherst's virtual admission programming for Amherst alumni families
The Alumni Admission Workshops are virtual programs designed to help prospective college students and their families prepare for the college admission experience, wherever they may be applying.
The workshops, sponsored by the Office of Admission, are open to Amherst alumni with students who are rising juniors or seniors in high school. The Amherst College Office of Admission does not conduct interviews or one-on-one evaluative sessions with students, but does offer one-hour small group sessions for alumni families providing general advice on the college application experience. If you have questions about these programs, please contact Marcy Dyer at mdyer@amherst.edu.
