Hm. Wonder what’s up with the decision date. I think all other NESCACs have announced or have at least given kids a date that the answer will be coming. I feel like we need to get the show on the road and get these answers in so we can plan re-visits!
Historically, what time have decisions been released? I think all signs are pointing to Friday.
Last year was 3/23 Friday 4PM. So, @mist99’s guess is a good one.
I visited Amherst on Friday and noticed a big sticker on 3/22 on the calendar behind the admissions desk. It could have meant something totally different, but who knows!
I’ve heard 3/24 from someone currently at Amherst, but who knows…
the 24th is a Sunday. Do schools release decisions on Sundays? I’m nor sure I’ve seen any that do.
A few do, CWRU released today and I believe Macalester did last week. Agree that it seems odd
@homerdog gotten 8 decisions back so far between S19 and D19 and all were Thursday Friday or Saturday. Never on Sunday 
Actually my bad. Mac was Sunday @homerdog @Eingram24
the closer it gets the more i start to regret submitting a graded paper instead of an original supplemental essay. anyone else feeling that regret?
@oscarssnub I’m glad I decided to write the supplement instead, it was probably the highlight of my application.
@oscarssnub same here. really wish i had put in the effort to write an original essay
Why? I recall reading last year’s RD thread and many admitted had submitted a paper
@basil2000 yeah i saw that. i just feel like writing was definitely the major strength of my app and also u can never have too many essays for a school because what other way do u have of humanizing urself?
@giraldi what topic was ur graded paper on, if u don’t mind saying?
@oscarssnub I submitted my history IA, where I evaluated the extent that the Nuremberg trials affected medical ethics
@giraldi oh that’s super interesting. Are u hoping to major in history?
Amherst decisions at 6:21 EDT this Friday! I got an email!
What’s up with the 6:21 time. It must mean something.
according to the email there’s just over 96 hours left til decisions.
That’s an odd time! LOL
