Amherst College Regular Decision 2018

<p>Go to My Amherst, then tools, then AC Data, and log in with your My Amherst info. Then click on Applicants (it’s on the right), then Decision or something.</p>

<p>I got rejected, but I’m totally okay with this. I’m going to Patrick Henry instead, and I’m so excited. CONGRATS to everyone who got in!!</p>

<p>I must admit I was surprised to see that I HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED!!! :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: YAY!!! Amherst Class of 2018 !!! </p>

<p>@avisrea where did you get the 10% acceptance rate from?</p>

<p>Has anyone seen fin aid awards yet for accepted students? My D portal is blank. But she was ACCEPTED.
4.0 GPA, 33 ACT, recruited Golf. </p>

<p>son was waitlisted; 2300 SAT; 4.0 UW GPA. </p>

<p>@student970 In their letter they said they accepted 470 students from a pool of more than 8,400 applicants.</p>

<p>Waitlisted, 34 ACT, rank 1, decent extracurrics, Asian and white, went to DIVOH. Accepted Colby, Carleton, Wellesley, Swarthmore, Vanderbilt, Alabama, Pittsburgh, and Maryland. Rejected HYPS and Columbia. I think I’ll stay on, but I’m very satisfied with my options. </p>

<p>Waitlisted. 2310 SAT, 4.25 W, white, solid extracurriculars. I’ve already paid the deposit at Bowdoin, which was the goal all along, so I didn’t accept the place on the wait list. Congrats to everyone accepted and good luck if you’re on the wait list! </p>

<p>Waitlisted - 35 ACT, Asian-American, pretty solid extracurriculars in my opinion. I plan on staying on the waitlist - guess it’s just some more waiting for a lot of us! Amherst is my top choice though so I wish I had received better news today, but I guess that’s how a lot of people are feeling.</p>

<p>Wait listed. ~3.7 UW, 1820 SAT/27 ACT, superb extracurriculars, Caribbean.</p>

<p>Blah. I guess considering the drop in the acceptance rate (I think) I can’t be surprised. Wish it wasn’t so, though. Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Yes!Accepted 3.2GPA 2230 SAT! Was waitlisted/rejected at all my other 7 colleges. </p>

<p>I am so tired o this new cc. Bigdaddy send me a pm so I can respond to hou. My phone won’t let me start one</p>

<p>Waitlisted…2380 SAT and 3.85 gpa. Can’t say I’m not a bit disappointed, accepted at WUSTL, Rice, Wesleyan, safeties…but I’ll remain on waitlists at Amherst, Williams, and Brown.</p>

<p>Got an email saying I was admitted but turns out it was a glitch (I’m a transfer applicant). Anyone else get the same email?</p>

<p>@alaink I got an email saying I was admitted as well - for international students and US citizens living abroad. I recieved an email right after saying that the notification was an error.</p>

<p>Do you think someone may have done it as an April Fools’ joke? I can’t help but wonder. </p>

<p>I think it’s an especially bittersweet feeling because it’s April 1… I’m a waitlisted applicant and it seems like they didn’t send it to rejected students.</p>

<p>My received the same erroneous email on April 1st. He has now received a second apology from the Dean of Admissions. Such a very horrible experience for my son, as he was in class and didn’t read the second email for a couple of hours. (And he had just read the first line of the first email, which stated “Congratulations of your admittance to Amherst.”)</p>
