@SpencerTis - RD will only be available to those who are deferred. It’s GAME OVER for those who get a rejection, which is something I hope none of us get on Wednesday. Oh, there is also an appeal to a rejection, but I don’t know how Amherst handles those or if anyone who appeals an Amherst rejection is ever successful. Best of luck!
Four more days! We can do this!
The anticipation is in the air, over hopefuls, beware!! Yay four more days to go!!
Since I’m in Taiwan, I won’t get my notification until 5:21AM Thursday morning. I doubt I’ll get any sleep Wednesday night! Oof!
That is tough! I hope you do get some sleep though.
I’m so stressed. I know I won’t be accepted yet I seem to hold some unfounded premonition that I’m going to ‘going to Amherst.’ Does anyone feel similarly?
I am sorry to hear that you are stressed. The truth is, none of us really know if we will or will not be accepted. Someone I know from earlier this year was rejected from every college he applied to, yet he was accepted to Amherst and it came as a huge shock to him.
For me, it’s a mix of feeling confident, feeling hopeless, feeling scared and that can be very stressful. I hope you feel better.
If you’re like me, you’ve probably watched a lot of college-decision-reactions videos. I can definitely relate to the stress. This one is my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIULw3jtvNU It gets interesting starting around the 11:30 mark. The entire family and their reactions are so cool.
That’s also my favorite! And I also watched a gazillion of those videos:-D
I’m so glad that I am super busy next week so I won’t really have time to stress about the decision.
@GhostOfBanquo I too have the same problem. For me the results come out on Thursday 5:30 am…
Did anyone else get a message in their portal that they got deferred? I called them and they removed it, but me and like 7 other people in a group chat all got the same new tab in the portal. It’s removed now, but still shook us. Freaky.
That’s scary ?
It’s now gone… I wish I got the chance to see mine.
Maybe they just accidentally deferred everyone.
Scary! Maybe they accidentally released decisions early?
Silly accidents! They should be more careful!
My reasoning is that they set everyone’s default status as “deferred”, since that’s what most people would receive. Then they will go through the accepted and rejected ones and change them before they release the decision. They accidentally opened the unfinished portal today, so everyone would see a deferred. Therefore, that’s not necessarily the decision you will receive.
Only my personal viewpoint
I can’t wait until this is all over with and I know.
Same!!! This process is so anxiety inducing!
I’m international too, and I’ll get my decision at 4:51 am on Thursday. No sleep definitely!
