Amherst College

We welcome first-year and transfer applications from international students!
Typically, about 12 percent of our students come from secondary schools or universities outside the United States: approximately 10% are non-U.S. citizens who come from over 55 countries; another 2% hold dual citizenship with the U.S. and another country and have lived or studied outside the U.S.

Application materials for first-year admission to the Class of 2019, enrolling in Fall 2015, will be available at Common App Online on August 1, 2014. Before beginning an online application, you should review carefully the "First-Year Application Requirements" below and preview the options for our writing supplement.
