Anyone apply? When do decisions come out? Good luck to everyone!
I was wondering this too. Just got into Discover Swat so hoping for Amherst.
Based on last year’s thread, I think late August is when decisions get released-- around August 29th last year I think. Hopefully it’ll be sooner because Discover Swat requires a response by August 27th and they overlap this year for the October dates!
Did anyone call/email Amherst and find out when we are getting our decisions?
Decisions are out–rejected. Really thought I’d get this one. For those who were accepted, can you please list stats? Thanks!
Yes!! i got in!!

IMO this is a bit lacking to provide a holistic picture, but hopefully future applicants may find it helpful.
Also, can others chime in more about the other programs being listed? I only know about DIVOH, and learned about it rather late as well.

Congratulations to everyone who was admitted! I have the numbers for last year:
930 applied, 175 attended (~19%). Of those who attended, 127 applied to Amherst and 90 were admitted, of whom 32 (35.6%) matriculated. That puts the acceptance rate for DIVOH students at 70.9%.
They also admitted 42 who were not accepted to the fly-in but were later admitted to the Class of 2021.
Wondering why the 37 students got rejected?
