Amherst College RD 2023

@mattm2019 do you have the tilde mark?

@toomanykiddos yes

Well than let’s hope it means good news and not what they were predicting last year!

@mattm2019 why what’s the tilde mark suppose to mean?

Enough with the tilde marks. Last year, some people had them and some were accepted, some were waitlisted and some were denied. I don’t know what they mean but they don’t indicate anything.

They’ve released early acceptances, check your email to see if you’ve gotten anything!

Nothing here! Do you think they send all early acceptances just once at the same time?

DD got her acceptance today. Looks like early acceptances are out.

@Mkate75 are you an athlete? Any particular reason why you think you might have been accepted earlier? Congratulations!!!

@homerdog no, not an athlete. I would say strong academics, strong test scores, extra curricular and killer essays. My opinion, but I’m biased.

My daughter received her acceptance today as well. She’s not an athlete but the letter said that they are notifying some students early.

Was it my snail mail or email? Thanks and congratulations to your daughter!

@mrbhuis she got an email that her application was updated and it was in her online portal.

Can confirm, got accepted yesterday with pretty bad financial aid haha

I just called the admissions office and I’m not sure if I just had a very clueless representative but she said nothing was sent out yesterday. I was calling to see if they knew whether or not another wave of admission would be coming out. She said nothing has been sent out yet. I’m wondering what this means.

Is it LL or acceptance letter?

@alwalw acceptance, ppl have been calling it an early write

Is anyone else getting a “system error” when logging into the financial aid portal?

@supple123 I always get one since we didn’t apply for FA. I tried to log on just for kicks and I always just get a error message. They did give S19 an email with @amherst in it and a way to set a password to get into the FA portal but it’s never worked. It does allow him to log onto their general website though. Not sure why or if everyone can do that.

@supple123 I just tried logging in my finaid app and I was able to. No system error message.
