Amherst ED 2016... anybody?

<p>Im numb at the moment…cant feel a thing, So on the 13th…there will be 3 things happening.</p>

<p>1)I get accepted, say “yay!” and I go to sleep, wake up and paint the town PURPLE!!
2)I get Deferred, I grunt and I go to sleep.
3)I get Rejected,I take a deep sigh and go to sleep.</p>

<p>for option 2 and 3…I dont really know what I’ll do when I wake up haha</p>

<p>BTW ive been lurking around the decision threads(more like rejection threads) of other colleges to be honest its a MASSACRE!!! @_______@</p>

<p>@ blindsided I am not numb yet but I also have thought of 3 situations! </p>

<p>1) I get accepted and I cry tears of joy until I pass out
2) I get deferred and I cry tears of angst because that means 4 more months of agony
3) I get rejected and I cry… and thats it hahhah</p>

<p>I also have been lurking and you’re right! I guess it just goes to show that we have no idea what colleges could be looking for!</p>

<p>I did so well not thinking of Amherst decision anxiety last night at a Chirstmas party until I drove past a subdivision called Amherst on my way home…I didn’t even know that place existed! :0</p>

<p>I worked from 7:30 AM till about 9 PM and didn’t think about decisions, then I woke up the next morning to realize the outcome of my application isn’t far and I felt a stab of the agony I’m going to face taking care of supplements for other colleges if I get rejected. I hope I
<em>at least</em> get deferred.</p>

<p>…but that aside, all our anxieties are going to boil down to what’s on our ACData this 13th. So, I’m dealing with trying to not think about it too much.</p>

<p>It’s 13th night / 14th morning for me with time difference!!!</p>

<p>2 days you guys!!! So exciting and nerve wracking! I just wish they would specify what “late in the day” is. I’m thinking 5 o’clock but I’m not sure. </p>

<p>@Fullmetal01 7:30 AM to 9 PM?!?! Where do you work? Those are insane hours =O</p>

<p>Guys this is getting really bad…I’m counting down the hours!
My friends who were accepted ED @ Cornell and Columbia said that both schools had countdowns on their websites. So instead of being able to focus on any work, they just watched the countdown…
So glad Amherst doesn’t have that, it’s kinda cruel!</p>

<p>Im listening to old eastern folk songs…I think its making me depressed :o </p>

<p>@bluecanary: i second that…its getting worse… even for me…I never feel nervous or anxious…what is wrong with the world ???</p>

<p><em>huddles up in a corner and thinks about rainbows and neon green ponies</em> </p>

<p>I think by now…im officially considered a loony -___-
YAY!</p>

<p>Oh man I’m soooo nervous I might throw up D: We’re so close guys!!!
Good luck to everyone, I really hope we all get in! Think positively! :D</p>

<p>Which page will the decision show, the main menu or applicants page?
There isn’t any hint of a decision page on the ACData websight…</p>

<p>And how do you know there’s no countdown?</p>

<p>We will have to go to the applicant page of ACData and on the day of the decision there will be new link labeled “admission Decision” we will click that… AND WALLAAAA the decision will be there</p>

<p>Is there a reason to panic? </p>

<p>Posted on my website - Admission letter status:</p>

<p>“The designated date to view your letter has not yet arrived. We expect your letter to be ready on January 01 2012. Please check back at that time.”</p>

<p>I thought they said Tue Dec 13 !!!</p>

<p>Is this a clerical thing … or am I waitlisted ;-(</p>

<p>Hey guys! I just discovered this site today. So glad I’m not the only one at the point of having a panic attack. Decisions are supposed to come out ‘late in the day on Tuesday’, right? Has there been any specific time given? Because I know with a few other colleges it’s been out at 5pm EST :/</p>

<p>Does your ACData site have a placeholder posted today … mine says the letter will be avail Jan 1!!! I think they’re trying to kill me! ;-)</p>

<p>@amfreborg It says the same thing on my Amherst ACData… except it says 2013… so I have no idea what that means. The decision definitely comes out tomorrow though. I’m baffled… haha</p>

<p>But seriously! 1 day! I’m starting to flip out</p>

<p>Hi @Ellie,</p>

<p>Whew on the post ACData post being a placeholder. This is getting ridiculously excruciating. </p>

<p>Was fine all weekend … today getting a serious case of colitis …</p>

<p>Started prepping all of my back-up apps – really don’t want to. This has been much more stressful than I ever imagined.</p>

<p>@Ellie512 : I don’t work everyday lol …on Friday I was doing volunteer work for a mathematics competition so had to work for that long as per instructions. It was fun and not at all stressful !</p>

<p>My ACData says the same thing as amfreborg’s , except that it says 2013.</p>

<p>Since everyone’s getting freaked out, I’ll make a freak assumption :</p>

<p>Every applicant that got the message saying 2013 got rejected/deferred, and those which had 2012 in them got accepted. </p>

<p>XD</p>

<p>@Fullmetal … Highly doubt that :wink: … You all sound like you’ve got SO MUCH more going for you than me - a “joe schmo” midwest white guy. Amherst is my dream for the English dept, and the Doshisha University exchange. </p>

<p>Very few places offer such opportunities for a Japanophile. My SATs were pretty middlin: 740 710 730</p>

<p>Although I must admit … It’s hard to know if the admissions people are random, or actually enjoy playing mind games like this.</p>
