But that would be the earliest they have released in the past which seems unplausable.
I think they may aim for the 4th Friday of March. Just a guess, though.
how much does legacy account for in admissions at Amherst? I have a 34 ACT, two 760+ Subject Tests, taking all APs this year and have gotten all As and A+s in them. I applied to Colby, Bates, and Bowdoin and got wAitlisted at all. I got into Middlebury. About right now Amherst is my top and I’m really wishing that I applied ED;( but only one other person from my school applied and he’s not a legacy.
Hoping it will be the 24th!!
I sent the admissions office an email asking when decisions will be out/when we will know the date, so I’ll post here when they get back to me.
yea how much does legacy help? nowhere near amherst stats but grandpa, dad, aunt, uncle all attended
In that case it will probably help a fair amount!
I just got rejected from Colgate & Colby… Waitlisted at Grinnell. Do I even stand a chance? Uhh…
@Kimo212 aren’t Colgate decisions mailed today ? How did you find out?
And don’t worry college admissions is a crapshoot I got waitlisted at Colby, Bates, and Bowdoin but accepted to Middlebury, Notre Dame, UVA OOS, etc so it all depends on the school! Good luck!
@Georgia101 I am an international student; Colgate sends wait-lists and rejections to internationals by email, and acceptances are mailed, so I got the email today. I hope so, congratulations on your acceptances, well deserved!
I was deferred ED, and they sent an email out the Tuesday before the Friday decisions were released. We should be getting one today! Hopefully… can’t wait another week
omg today!?!
Not decisions! Just an email telling us decisions will be this week. Oops sorry
@Kimo212, honestly, story of my life as well! (
When I was at DIVOH, there was a student who had used the exact essay they made for John Hopkins and they thought it was funny. I wouldn’t call it a deal breaker, maybe just an unfortunate mistake
What email? I haven’t heard from Amherst admissions since January… Does this mean I’m already rejected…
I second this ^^^. I have also not heard from Amherst concerning admissions. What does this e-mail say?
@winterkomt @Amaaandafu don’t think emails have been sent yet but they’re predicting Amherst will send an email this week about when the decisions are coming out
I predict they’ll send the email today evening and the decisions to be Friday. Hopefully.
@winterkomt Oh 
You applied to Amherst too.
