Amherst College 2021 RD Discussion Thread

Mine has that final paragraph

I personally think everyone’s portal has that final paragraph. I’m more concerned about not having an “Awards” tab…

@Theoddorre I don’t think anyone has an Awards tab yet

How does one find out their NetPartner username and password? I can’t seem to find it

Check ur email

Has it been confirmed that decisions come out tomorrow at 6:00?

I have twin DD’s that have gone through the tumbler this week with rejections from Bowdoin, Chicago, Swarthmore and Williams and waitlisted from Middlebury, but luckily acceptances from Bates, Carleton, Colby, Colgate and Kenyon so they have choices in hand, but wow it would be great to get an acceptance at a least one Reach…

Yes @Chembiodad decisions confirmed for tomorrow. Not sure what time.

Fingers and toes crossed

ED came out around 3:45, so I would expect somewhere around there.

@sjmain 3:45 ET or PT

Oh god! I just logged into My Amherst to have a look at it and they had all my info right and all but I scrolled down and it says
Gender: Male
I’m a female why does Amherst think I’m a male?!

@intstudent2021 that might be a problem LOL. You might wanna check what you selected in your Common Application.

How do u customize ur my amherst profile to add the widget

do any of u know if Amherst is sending out acceptances first and rejections last like Williams did?

I’m doomed guys. I’ve just read through the whole FinAid trick. When I logged into the Financial Aid Portal, I realized that I haven’t submitted any support documentation yet! I tried in vain searching my email inbox and found an email they sent from Jan 23 instructing me how to send income documentation. But I didn’t notice that!!! So is everything over for me?

@nTv187 I don’t know if you’ll be eligible for FinAid, but Amherst is need-blind for domestic students I’m pretty sure…

@hungrihippo It is need-blind for international student, too. But way more competitive than domestic.

Has anyone else’s Financial Aid portal just gone down? I checked mine a few minutes ago, read through the latest posts on here and tried to reopen it and it’s not working…

@greenstudent the same happened to me right now lol

Super nervous for decisions…hoping for a wait list at least.
