Amherst College Regular Decision 2018

<p>@nhdmaniac
Oh, I’m aware that Amherst is need-blind, but I definitely need financial aid and I want to compare packages. Ah well, if I get in, hopefully I’ll be able to sort out everything before May 1st.</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone! Do we have any speculative dates as to when they’ll be releasing?</p>

If previous [2012] year’s time line holds good, then minorities and under represented students should get their email invitation for the diversity day [with offer of transportation] by this Saturday [may be even tomorrow evening], indicating their admission [they will get their actual admission with the rest by next friday]. </p>

<p>The others will get an email on Monday telling them when they will get their admission notification - which should more than likely next Friday.</p>

<p>When I got accepted last year, mi financial aid application was incomplete and i recieved my aid package within about a week, so you should be fine. I think they should release decisions next friday. Good luck!</p>

<p>S just received his acceptance and an invitation to diversity day. Official results will be posted on 28 March according to the email.</p>

<p>I got an invitation to Diversity Day, I got in. :slight_smile: Its crazy too because I also just got my acceptance from Sarah Lawrence earlier this morning. This is definitely a good day. :)</p>

<p>I got my email too! I was so blindsided. I really thought I was going to get rejected.</p>

<p>Have you guys invited to Diversity Day been to the Amherst campus before?</p>

<p>I haven’t</p>

<p>So if I’m generally considered “diverse” because of my socioeconomic background and haven’t gotten an email yet, should I be assuming the worst?</p>

<p>Are international students invited to the diversity day too? if yes, then i’m getting worried, because I haven’t received the email</p>

<p>I got in too. The letter said they’d notified me early because the Diversity Recruitment Program wants to fund my trip for the Overnight Open House. I’m a little shocked, would love to talk to some other people who got in/attend. </p>

<p>Yeah same here; I just got my letter today so I’m pretty happy!</p>

<p>Just a question: were all of you who were admitted with a Diversity Day letter URM’s?</p>

<p>Ds got his email and no, he is not an URM :slight_smile: He and we are so suprised and excited!
Edit: and we have not been to the campus before.</p>

<p>I am completely surprised, but I got accepted! I applied on a whim when I found out that the CommonApp didn’t have any extra essays and I am just, incredibly excited.</p>

<p>I am a URM(Northeastern Native American), but the government registered me as a white male due to some issues with tribal records, if that helps anyone. </p>

<p>Hope to see you all at the open house! </p>

<p>For those who’ve been accepted, has your status changed on the portal? Anyone get rejections?</p>

<p>When I logged into my portal, it gave me a form to fill out for attending the open house weekend. </p>

<p>Congratulations to all those who go in =D> </p>

<p>@Chubscout… good luck to you, hope you get your admission soon.</p>

<p>No. Still says "There currently is no decision about your application available at this time. Please check back later.
"</p>

<p>I got invited to Diversity Day too but it falls on the same day as Notre Dame’s Spring Visitation Weekend. Letter clearly states our acceptance, did not expect it after getting deferred from ED but quite pleased. </p>
