<p>hey im applying to transfer TO amherst from a liberal arts college in the midwest & when i visited one of the instrumental directors told me their composition gradds go to schools like Yale, Eastman, Columbia, UCSD, Chicago, etc. And they get their pieces performed in their senior year and recorded. & they told me they had THREE comp teachers right now although one was one retired & one going away next year…seems very strong to me but I don’t think I’m going to get in since amherst tkaes almost no transfers sigh</p>
