Hey does anyone’s portal show any signs of a place where an admissions decision might pop up? Mine still looks the same as it did when I first got it.
Also another thing, did Admissions call your school counselor asking for a mid quarter grades update about a week ago? Just me? Anyone have any insight?
@californiatrailblazer i don’t think anyone called … hmmmm eek…
@californiatrailblazer I bet the portal changes only when they post the decisions
My portal looks the same and I am clueless about where the link for the admissions decision will be put.
My school counselor told me that Amherst would ask everyone for their first marking period grades if they did not have them automatically sent. But he sent mine when they became available, before the admissions committee needed to ask for them. So I can’t know for sure if they would have asked or not. But I guess my counselor has been asked for them in the past for prior applicants from my school.
@californiatrailblazer, my school has trimesters, not quarters , though. So basically at my school we are only currently at the beginning of the second trimester. Do you mean you sent first quarter grades and then Admissions called and wanted mid-second quarter grades too ??
@kodiakandrosita idk I just know if a previous report had already come in. All I know is that the entire interaction happened over the phone
@californiatrailblazer, I think the way my school counselor had said it was that if the first marking period grades were not sent, Admissions would call him by the beginning of December to ask for them…ie, I think (from the way my school counselor had mentioned about it) that a telephone call to the school counselor is how they normally ask for the first marking period grades if they have not received them by then.
My daughter was contacting by an asst. coach stating the Admissions office contacting them requesting her mid quarter/semester grade report. Her high school guidance counselor then sent it to the Admissions office.
Good luck all!
@STEM2017, thank you !!! Fingers crossed, for EVERYONE !!! 
hoping for the best/preparing for the worst … (and assuming the worst)
Tick, tock… They usually post around 5pm Eastern, correct?
Is there an official results thread on CC for Amherst 2021 ED? To list stats and accepted/deferred/rejected?
Anyone else continually refreshing the Status page??
@Phiebe last year it looks like they came out more around 4 Eastern…

Decisions are out! My son received an email from Amherst stating he should check his account for his decision. He’s in for the Class of 2021!
