My daughter was deferred (basically a rejection?). No hooks.

My daughter was accepted. Wishing the best for those who got news they didn’t want to hear.

Did the notification letters provide any details about the number of applications or acceptances?

27

Don’t worry. You will get admission in another good school.

28

That’s not what I asked. But I agree that everyone who applied will end up at a good school.

No stats at all. Just a reminder that Amherst is a small college and their decision reflects the unavoidable and significant constraints imposed by the limited number of spaces.

Thanks. There seems to be a movement away from sharing stats which is probably a good thing.

216 for ED. I saw a tweet from dean of admissions

To all who have gotten in, congrats!! I look forward to seeing you in the fall! :smiley:

To those who got deferred, know that that is still an accomplishment and that there is a very real chance you get in RD (Amherst fills a lot of their ED spots with athletes)!

To those who did not get in, there are soooooo many more amazing schools out there to get excited about! I ended up getting deferred and then rejected by my early school, and honestly I think it ended up being a very good thing! Don’t lose faith in the process :heart:

Just out of interest, does anyone have an idea about how many international students were accepted during ED?

Congratulations to those that got in. Those that did not, your moment is coming and I wish you the very best wherever you land.
I have a senior and she loves Amherst College in spite of the challenges presented by Covid. I wish you all the most incredible experience. Reach out if I can answer any questions :purple_heart:

Did anyone’s GC receive ED stats? My D is doing a gap year and isn’t in contact with hers. Just wondering about percentage of deferred applicants.
