<p>So… I normally wouldn’t start a thread or anything because I am pretty new here and kind of shy but I was wondering who else applied ED to Amherst College! No words can describe how nervous I am… :x</p>
<p>I sent in my app in October! Ahhh I hate waiting!
But honestly, decision time is gonna be here before we know it… :O</p>
<p>Hi bluecanary 
Wow you sent it in pretty early! Good news is that we might hear back a bit sooner than Dec. 15th! I think last year’s ED applicants first heard around the 12th…</p>
<p>haha I was actually wondering when someone would start this thread! I feared I might be the only one applying because the Amherst page at CC was pretty inactive. I sent in my application in octo, however i still havent received any confirmation…</p>
<p>sent it in a week and a half ago and have confirmation and a log in. Might want to check up on that</p>
<p>Glad to see there are more people out there just as nervous as I am. Good luck to every one!</p>
<p>Ahhh, common app shows they downloaded my all my application/supps but no confirmation yet!</p>
<p>FINALLY!! got my confirmation 
btw im not sure if i should be asking this here…but Ive heard that Amherst is pretty left-wing in nature (NOTE: I am not against it or anything) Im just curious how it affects campus life and stuff. anyone ?</p>
<p>Blindsided, what did your confirmation look like? All I have gotten is an email setting up my Amherst account to where I can see only parts of my app have been received. Is that what you were talking about? Thanks :)</p>
<p>yep ! thats the confirmation mail I’m talking about. Now we have to till the 15th of dec X__X</p>
<p>I applied! I’m super nervous! Only 27 more days.</p>
<p>Submitted mine last week! No confirmation yet though, when should we expect to get it?</p>
<p>Haha, oh the irony. I got my confirmation only a few minutes after I left my previous post…</p>
<p>@wilkins I submitted mine on Monday and I got a confirmation on Friday! So… maybe 4-5 days… I actually emailed them and a couple minutes afterwards, I received the confirmation email… though I’m not sure if it was just a coincidence :P</p>
<p>ahh i submitted my application two weeks ago thinking it would be a relief but…just more nerves! good luck to everyone what are your intended majors?</p>
<p>I’ve been following college confidential for a while (its an awesome site!) but just made an account to share in this thread. I applied a few weeks ago and I’m terrified! Amherst is my dream and this is the final countdown haha!
and uponthesun, I’d like to go for literature :)</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone!! :D</p>
<p>A week or two at max, they wont stretch more then that. any idea how many people applied for ED this year ?</p>
<p>I’m thinking about Double Majoring in Politics and Law, Jurisprudence and Social Thought.
My HS curriculum revolves completely around the social sciences…So hard sciences are really not my thing. </p>
<p>Any International applicants Here ?</p>
<p>An admissions counselor said that they usually receive 300-350 ED applicants when I asked during their chat :x Are any of you athletic recruits? I’m not but I heard that they take a looot of athletes and legacies during the ED round. So nervous :(</p>
<p>I’m thinking about a double major in Russian and German. Hopefully, December 15th will be a good day for all of us and stressing about college will be done and over with! Does anybody have all of their information received by Amherst yet? I sent my app in two weeks ago and all that is shown on the website is my common app, supp, and test scores?</p>
<p>I’m nothing close to an athlete lol. Personally I think…If you’re good you’re good and no amount of athletic recruits or Legacies can stop you from getting in. Just keep your fingers crossed I guess.</p>
