Where did you get that? Is it from credible sources?
Yes, it is from the Amherst email to my counselor

Omg almost half of Class 2025 will be ED
Did everyone’s counselor get an email?
Are the percentages same for the international students as well? Or do we divide them by 5 like rd?

From the 850 applicants, 25% is accepted. 20% is deferred. The rest got rejected.
I think they will accept like 10-20 international students from ED
Well, all the best everyone! No matter what the results are, keep your head high and keep moving on. You’ll end up where you’re supposed to be, happy. These few days have been filled with anxiety but I’m glad to have this thread, and meeting you guys!

How many international ed students are admitted normally?
From the class of 2023 stats, around 3000 international students applied. And 150 got accepted. 56 matriculated. Seeing that around 100 didn’t matriculate, they must be RD applicatants. Also, let’s say half of the matriculated were RD applicatants. So, around 30 might have been accepted by ED.

Thanks for sharing the stats! It’s a little reassuring that there is a higher ED expected representation in the class of 2025, but that 40% increase in applications is pretty scary. Also, as far as I know, my counselor has still not received an email.

I haven’t received any email from Amherst as of now and I live in Louisiana
…only freaking out a little bit 
My kid has a pretty strong case for admission (though nothing is guaranteed until the fat lady sings). Sticking with the Yogi Barra theme “you don’t know what you don’t know”. Last email we got from Amherst was on Dec 7 (Pearl Harbor Day), which announced the release date. Since then there has been no change to our portal: no name change, no secret code by clicking on the wrench, etc. We’re just waiting for the official release later today. Good luck to all and for the international applicants - Yogi Barra was a baseball player - 1950’s to 1960’s - with the NY Yankees who had a penchant for stating the intuitively obvious. His expressions, and those attributed to him, are part of the American idiomatic culture.

There are at least 60-75 of the those admitted are recruited athletes and there are additional athletes who have gone through the pre-read process and have soft support.
Are we supposed to get an email in 8 hours ? Saying what exactly?
