To me it says
“2016: Application Complete, 2016: Award Info Available
The current requirements for your 2016 aid application are complete.
A financial aid determination has been made. You may review your awards.”
However, the link to the awards leads to an error.
Does this mean I’m in?
Based on previous years, this is what the accepted applicants got. Not sure if all of them received it though. Congratulations!
Congratulations, @MohTamer. I didn’t get any messages 
Did anyone here has an ‘awards’ or ‘messages’ tab on the financial aid portal?
I’m not going to look in case it’s not a 100% indicator either way
What is the financial aid portal, @oawnstar?
where does it say customize myamherst
Found it, mine says:
2016: Application Incomplete, 2016: Award Info Available
Your 2016 aid application is not complete. Please check the status.
A financial aid determination has been made. You may review your awards.
Oh well, says I don’t have any financial aid messages…I guess that means I don’t have to agonize over when they’ll post the decisions today. thanks for the tip @specter97 ^:)^
Oh shizz I didn’t even know about the FA tab and there are some documents I didn’t send, apparently. And Amherst didn’t even ask me for them. I guess this means I’m rejected $-)
I’m so confused how to get there. Is there any way anyone who’s already accessed it can post clearer directions (sorry I’m so dumb)
@Smythe Go to amherst.edu
Click the tool icon and log in
Then click the avatar of the person, and hit “My Amherst”
At “My Amherst” click the “Customize My AMherst” option which also has a gear icon to the right.
Find the Finacial Aid Tab and drag it down.
@Smythe Which part are you stuck on?
Hey again, @Grapess. Amherst is need-blind for international students so I’m sure it’s okay! If you’re accepted (I think you will be), they’ll ask you to submit them.
@inshm2016 @MohTamer Yes, you guys are in as per the trend of last year.
Mine says- No finacial aid messages.
~6.5 hours and counting.
Sorry guys I got it thanks so much for helping!
Did anyone who did not get that widget update get accepted last year??
@Malcomx99
I did EXACTLY what you said. It says 2016: Application Complete, 2016: Award Info Available The current requirements for your 2016 aid application are complete. A financial aid determination has been made. You may review your awards.
However, everyone in my school has this message. So I don’t think it means anything 
p.s I’m an international.
@WaywardVagabond lol thanks but I’m 99% sure I was rejected :)) not trying to get my hopes up.
Good luck on Skidmore! I also applied, but haven’t heard from them yet. :-L
