<p>I would think you would be able to see it by next week! Hang in there, you’ll get it soon! :)</p>
<p>Just wondering… I’m pretty sure it’s posted here somewhere… But when are admission results coming out?</p>
<p>Hey guys, I’m checking out my Amherst admissions portal, and on the ‘test summary’ page it has a section for ‘placement tests’ saying ‘no tests of this type have been recorded’. What on Earth is a placement test?</p>
<p>FWIW My son got an e-mail from the FA office saying that his FA package was available several days ago. He was an early write.</p>
<p>Yup I was just able to view my FA package yesterday, after an early write as well. I didn’t get an email or anything; I’ve just been randomly checking lately. I actually got close to a full ride! (my contribution is like $700). It was especially comforting after getting wait-listed at UChicago.</p>
<p>Nice one, man!</p>
<p>so you’re saying there are indications on the portal site, well ahead of the advertised 27 march mailing date? guess there is some more checking to do for D…</p>
<p>POmani: placement tests are often administered by schools to incoming students over the summer or upon arrival on campus in order to ascertain a new student’s preparedness for various subjects. Most often they are given in math and foreign languages but might also be used to determine writing skills and depth of knowledge in the sciences. Many schools will accept performance on SAT subject tests or AP tests in lieu of the school’s own placement test, but this isn’t always the case. No pre-admitted student would have placement test results yet, but it appears the Amherst portal is anticipating them.</p>
<p>Cheers for that mate. So I shouldnt read anything into the fact that they show up on my portal?</p>
<p>That is correct. There is no significance to their appearance on your portal. They show up on everyone else’s, too.</p>
<p>Great, thanks for your help.</p>
<p>Was anyone who’s been accepted initially an ED deferral? Does anyone know how many were put on the ED deferral list?</p>
<p>hi! does anyone know when are decision coming out? and how are we going to recieve them i.e. by our amherst portal/ email/mail?</p>
<p>I think that we will be getting our decisions by mail by March 29th. But I’m not positive.</p>
<p>Email or snail mail?</p>
<p>I received my acceptance and an invitation to attend the Overnight Open House by email today! Completely unexpected, I’m so excited :’)</p>
<p>This was in the email, so maybe it applies to all RD applicants:</p>
<p>“Our official online notification of your admission will be available through your ACData account late in the afternoon on Friday, March 29, 2013. Details about your admission and the May 1 response date will be included in that online notification, as well as in a packet of material mailed to you on the same date.”</p>
<p>Confirmation, this was on my portal: “All other regular decision applicants will be notified of admission decisions via ACData accounts late on the afternoon of March 29…” </p>
<p>Late afternoon, so I’m guessing 4-6 Eastern.</p>
<p>I just accepted too! I’m in complete shock. I was just wait listed by Colby and rejected by Dickinson (?). I’m an international asking for help so that probably hurt me…I can’t believe this!!</p>
<p>I was admitted as well!!! I got the email 38 minutes after being rejected by Rice… Definitely a mood changer</p>
<p>It definitely is. It makes me a lot less nervous about the Middlebury decision that’s coming out tomorrow because no matter what happens I’m still going to one of my top choices.</p>
