@cvisser96, Amherst only gives legacy applicants interviews.
@5turtle5 sad day, but a bit more reassuring for me. My parents don’t even know what Amherst is. -_-
Yo, why’s this discussion board so slow! Let’s liven it up people!
I’m with @Someone007 – Very nerve-wracking!
@beckett Thank you
Amherst doesn’t care about demonstrated interest, at least they say they dont
Did any one else on here attend amherst’s DIVOH program??
I was there! @hhiiiiiiii
How many people would you say applied to Amherst RD this year?
I just got an acceptance email from Amherst!
I just got accepted to Amherst via early write!
Congratulations @fritzitty !
Can you guys post your stats?
D got a yes from Amherst this afternoon. Did NOT see that coming.
@OHMomof2 was it by email or snail mail?
E-mail. And they apparently told her early so they can fly her to open house in April.
"Our official online notification of your admission will be available through your ACData account late in the afternoon on Friday, March 27, 2015. "
@DebraOfUSVI
ACT 27 (in my defense my school’s average is 15)
GPA: 3.76 uw and 4,0 weighted.
Rank: 1 out of 103
SAT 2: Bio E 680 Math 1: lol
My school does not have a average SAT2 because I was the first to ever take them. Initiative?
@DebraOfUSVI
(note: I go to a STEM magnet school, most people apply to engineering schools and Ivies rather than LACs)
ACT: 34
GPA: 4.30 (we don’t get uw, weighting is 4.5 for honors and 5.0 for AP)
Rank: no ranking, but I assume I’m somewhat above average
SAT 2: Chemistry 760 Math II 750
I have a friend who got in today too, but I have no news! It just makes it all the more nerve racking!
ACT: 32 SAT: 2210 (single sitting)
GPA: 4.25 W, I don’t know unweighted, but we only weight APs.
Rank: 9/295, the class is really competitive- 4 girls got into Ptown early, two with better class ranks than mine and two with worse. But I believe I’m the only to apply to Amherst from my school- not a lot go to LACs from my area.
SAT II: US History: 770 and Math I: 730
so is it just early writes? or everyone?
wow, my son got accepted, and free round trip for the open house in april! I’m so excited, I’m afraid he might dump the berkely’s EECS regents to join amherst, not sure how much I have to pay though
