<p>Anyone know what time?</p>

<p>Sent from my SGH-T959V using CC</p>

<p>@jakemd27 It’s the result for Amherst??</p>

<p>I would assume around 5 p.m. Eastern</p>

<p>“The designated time to view your letter is near. Please check back later.”</p>

<p>The time is a-coming! Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Does anyone have an exact time?</p>

<p>All they said was “Friday, March 29, late in the day” (as we all know). As far as I remember, Amherst updated my portal with ED notification before 5 p.m. EST, but it may be different with RD notifications.</p>

<p>Where on the Amherst Portal do you guys see a link that says “check later.” I don’t even know where I’m supposed to look for my decisions.</p>

<p>Amherst’s letter is up online. D got a decline. Good luck, everyone!!</p>
