<p>I’m applying regular, but it’s my first choice! It’s also my reach school…but I hope I get in so badly. I’m from Louisiana, but I’d even brave the cold just to go there.</p>
<p>nice stats, are there any students that are local? What I think I am trying to ask is, do you think Amherst makes an effort to take some local students?</p>
<p>I applying for RD as well. I have a really good idea for the second quote, and my academics are top notch (1600/2250 SAT, 800 on two subject tests, 790 on Math II, 35 ACT, 4.0GPA). I just hope my ECs do not kill me.</p>
<p>@GiveMeReason Sounds like you have a great shot at Amherst! Where else are you applying?</p>
<p>Hey guys! I am also applying ED. Is December 14th the definite decision date?</p>
<p>My son applied ED also. Do you all know whether Amherst will inform ED applicants via e-mail, letter, or on that Amherst AC Data website?</p>
<p>@DfyingSeniorities & @jennieling</p>
<p>According to the website:</p>
<p>“12/15/12
Decision notices to Early Decision applicants sent out (electronically) on or about this date.”</p>
<p>Thanks, nineteen121.</p>
<p>On the AC Data site, it says:</p>

<p>I had an alumni interview for Harvard today. The man was 84 years old, and he said that his son also went to Harvard but “didn’t enjoy it and wished he had chosen Amherst College looking back” haha…just thought I’d share that.</p>
<p>Under my admission status update it says “There currently is no information about your application status ready at this time. Please check back later.” Does anyone else have that listed?</p>
<p>@zolotaya I’m applying ED and I have the same thing listed under my admission status update. </p>
<p>Is there any reason for this?</p>
<p>My son has the very same thing on his (when he goes to that acdata site).</p>
<p>seems like there should not be a problem if several people have the same info listed.</p>
<p>There is no problem…this is exactly what the ac portal said last year before decisions were posted…Good Luck to all!</p>
<p>Woo! Getting pretty excited, though I’m rather nervous to find out the results</p>
<p>Just today the message on my son’s Amherst acdata site changed to this: “The designated date to view your letter has not yet arrived. We expect your letter to be ready on Dec. 14,2012. Please check back at that time.” I wonder why it changed. Did anyone else’s message change?</p>
<p>Mine changed as well. My Common App shows that only my common app was downloaded, but not the supplement.</p>
<p>Zolotaya, my son’s too. I thiink I recall that it says “submitted (date)” next to Supplement. So we called on 11/15, and the person in admissions told us that they had everything, including the Amherst supplement (we asked specifically about the Amherst supplement) and they said, “Yes, we have the supplement. We have everything.” I still don’t get why it does not say 'Downloaded", however. How about other people? What does it say next to your “Supplements” when you first go on the Common App and look at Amherst?</p>
<p>Does anyone have an idea of what time on Friday that the update will appear on the ACData website? Midnight?</p>
