Amherst College ED thread class of 2018

<p>Hello people . This is for us who are willing to apply ED to Amherst college as class of 2018. Welcome Every one:) and please share insights about the college. I know we all are competing among us but anyway i feel we really should share our knowledge because we are not reducing our chances by helping each others out. Insted this might be helpful later for RD as well. So lets participate… :)</p>

<p>S decided to apply to Amherst College ED, but also contemplated Dartmouth (and lesser degree, Williams). Concern is that since he is not a legacy and not an athlete, there may be only a handful of ED slots available to someone with excellent grades, many extracurriculars (including national and state awards for singing, etc.), and great references. Also, it has been ages since anyone from his high school matriculated at Amherst. Hey, you never know…</p>

<p>I’m an ED applicant. Does anyone know if Amherst usually sends out notifications about their decision before December 15th?</p>

<p>I don’t think December 15th is set in stone-- it’s a Sunday. Apparently one or two years ago they released the decision on the 14th? You never know, it might be Friday.</p>

<p>I got an email today saying admission decisions would be up late in the day on Friday. Not sure when late in the day is, but Friday for sure!</p>

<p>i’m so excited!!! we find out this friday!</p>

<p>Yeah I did get the email too, checked about an hour later after posting that! I am super nervous. This is going to be a really long week…</p>

<p>Received an email saying the ED results will be announced late Friday Dec 13 th.</p>

<p>Please post your Stats and other factors like SATs , ECAs etc like they do in other thread. Thank you . :)</p>

<p>good luck to you too 3151.im 3147 :slight_smile: hope both of us get in!!</p>

<p>Good luck to all! My daughter loved every day at Amherst. In her perfect life she would stay there forever.</p>

<p>My son is in ! He checked the AC Data page a few minutes and the letter is there in pdf form.Congrats to everyone in The Amherst Class of 2018 !</p>

<p>Congratulations bobbyaguho and everyone else who got accepted. And to International applicants, I read somewhere Amherst usually defers us to compare with other internationals in the regular decision pool. Is there someone who got accepted? If not, I’m going to assume they automatically deferred you guys. My SAT score is 15ish (what am I doing here? I know. This is going to be my last application to US colleges,anyway) but I thought my essays were good enough to get me in. So today, I was hoping for a customized rejection letter but I got deferred. I don’t know why. Even if my essays compelled them to, I guess I shouldn’t even think about anything other than receiving a personalized rejection letter. I know my assumption is anecdotal but feel free to correct me internationals!</p>

<p>I’m an international applicant from The Netherlands, and I got in!</p>

<p>I’m an international applicant from Taiwan, and I was accepted as well.</p>

<p>That’s great, guys. Congratulations! I guess they read my application and didn’t want to reject me outright. I just hoped my story could ease anxious international deferrals. My decision to apply Amherst was a mistake but I realise for you all, that’s first choice.</p>

<p>Rejected. Was hoping for a deferral at the least. Well, there’s always RD.</p>

<p>accepted! does anyone know if there is a facebook group yet?</p>

<p>My question as well. I’ll start one if there one hasn’t been created. ADMITS - SHOOT ME A LINK TO YOUR FACEBOOK AND I’LL ADD YOU (nukawales96@gmail)</p>
