No error message for my DD
If you applied for aid it should work. It just doesn’t work for those of us who didn’t file for aid and know we are full pay.
Well, I applied for aid so it should be working but it isn’t opening. I wonder if that means they’re looking at it now.
@supple123 hopefully that’s what it is!
Occasional system error for me- works most of the time when you take the link from the Application status portal
I asked earlier on this thread but no one really wanted to answer - @toomanykiddos @supple123 Can you use your @amherst.edu address to log into the main website and get to the class scheduler?
@homerdog tell me the process and I will try. Is it her username they gave her and the password we made?
@toomanykiddos I sent you a pm
Replied @homerdog
Do I have an Amherst email address? Don’t only admitted/enrolled students have those? @homerdog
@supple123 I think you get one when you first sign in to see your FA portal. The first time I clicked on the financial portal, I was emailed directions to set up an Amherst.edu email. I think everyone here has done that.
@homerdog DD never got an email address, just a financial aid ID and then we made a password.
did you folks ever figure out the tilde?
nope…
someone here just mentioned that their financial aid portal recently gave them an error. Mine did that twice about two days ago before I tried to log in, but now it works completely fine.
last year i think admissions came out on the 23rd
4 years ago…I remember this waiting so well!
They mess with the FA portal in a way that could generate an error for anyone I think. D’s had a preliminary award her year, that was changed by the time the notification came a day or two later.
@OHMomof2 - I remember waiting 4 years ago with you. We have D2 waiting to hear.
@TheJoon do you remember how the date for decisions was announced? Did the kids get an email? Or did it just show up on the admissions website or portal and one just has to keep checking?
Just have to refresh the portal or wait for the email 
eek the financial aid portal shows that amherst caught a small error with my idoc forms, hoping that them looking is a sign of good news as only schools that have noticed the error have been acceptances so far. but don’t want to get my hopes up too too much.
