Amherst College 2021 RD Discussion Thread

@ricka8 Congrats again!! You must be an amazing candidate :slight_smile:

Thanks so much guys!!

Could some of you who got early acceptances post your stats please?

@intstudent2021 I posted mine in the results thread!

Me too!

When do results come out (for nonearly admits)?

I think april 1

My guess would be March 24 since last year was Thursday the 25th

Class of 2019 was the 27th but Iā€™d say right around ivy day

So guys, I made a terrible mistake on my Common App. I applied to Vanderbilt and I wrote as part of my app: ā€œNot happening,Vanderbilt.ā€ And when I headed to Amherstā€™s tab, I forgot to change ā€œVanderbiltā€ into ā€œAmherstā€ā€¦ goodness me, I feel terrible about it. Does anyone have a clue as to whether this is a dealbreaker? I mean they already know I applied to Vanderbilt but I feel the mistake is a killer bomb.

I mean it sounds like you reused your essay so it might show less dedication but donā€™t worry too much!!

@Kimo212 Maybe you should talk to your guidance counselor and ask if you should email your admissions officer to explain the mix-up and say that Amherst is one of your top choices?

@ricka8 itā€™s probably too late I guess, she said just leave it as it isā€¦ thanks!

Iā€™m really anticipating decisions being released. I really wish I applied ED, because I would go there in a heartbeat! If I donā€™t get in, then Iā€™ll just have to resort to my state school which I really donā€™t want to go to.

@Georgia101 Good luck to you!!

Thanks, you too! @Kimo212

does anyone have any inside info as to when admitted students day will be held?

Yep! The overnight one is April 9-10 and April 17 is for the day-only program

So based on past trends here is when decisions may be available: Friday the 31st
2018 - Friday 28
2019 - Friday 27
2020 - Friday 25
As in the past it was the last friday of the month.

I donā€™t think Amherst will wait that long, so I expect decisions will be released Friday March 24.
