Amherst College Regular Decision 2018

<p>I’m applying RD to Amherst College. I was wondering if every applicant has a My Interests tab when they login to MyAmherst? Mine shows links to the major for which I am applying. I’m curious if they do that for every applicant or only those that they are seriously considering.</p>

<p>I had the same thing on my account (info about the three majors I’d speicified on Common App) so I’m not sure! But nice catch, maybe there’s some correlation? </p>

<p>I have five different interests, one for each of my three major choices, and then two more for two of my activities. I’d be surprised if they only did that for accepted students, but I’ve already been accepted via early write, so I honestly don’t know. </p>

<p>@chubscout and English…
Congratulations, it is very likely you have been accepted… :slight_smile: </p>

<p>@tamtiger Are you just guessing or how do you know if that is the indication for admission?
I also have one and it says “These are the Amherst programs selected for you based on what we learned from reviewing your application to the college.” It sounds like it exists in every applicants status.</p>

<p>@hotspurs… Yes, not all applicants see that message, congratulations.</p>

<p>wait does “These are the Amherst programs selected for you based on what we learned from reviewing your application to the college.” mean you got in? or does everyone have it?</p>

<p>@tamtiger you think that message means we’ll be accepted? or that we’re being considered?</p>

<p>@ifoundalaska
Not everyone has the message, so you figure it out…:)</p>

<p>Maybe they haven’t seen all applications yet? I wish someone could confirm. I see it on my page, though :D</p>

<p>ps. if it’s relevant, I’m an international applicant</p>

<p>btw. Amherst (unconditionally) provides enough financial aid to cover accepted applicants needs, right?</p>

<p>tamtger is the only one who has said that not everyone gets the My Interests tab</p>

<p>@Chubscout Yeah, which is why it’d be great if someone else could confirm. Seems unlikely to me too.</p>

<p>especially since everyone on the board has it- like i’m sure we’re all talented and worthy individuals but what are the chances of everyone in this thread getting in?</p>

<p>I think it’s incredibly unlikely that this indicates admission. I’m fairly certain I had this section in January, long before I found out that I had been admitted. Also, Amherst does most of their committee deliberations in March. So they haven’t even accepted most of their class at this point.</p>

<p>But I am curious to know who has interests for their activities and not just their major choices. </p>

<p>I also agree with ifoundalaska. I noticed this my interest tab the very first time I received my application portal.
I don;t believe its a sign. I only have the three majors for my interest tab. </p>

<p>I have one of my majors and one of my interests (piano) listed, but I doubt it means anything.</p>

<p>@all
I was wrong, the My interests is seen for all.</p>

<p>that´s what I thought! hehe that what happens when we´re all eagerly awaiting our decisions :)</p>

<p>Anyone know the admissions release date?</p>
