@oawnstar How many people does that “everyone” include. Your school might just be/become a feeder to Amherst haha.
Oh lawddd, @Grapess. Did you apply for aid and take an interview? Good luck! Join the Skidmore discussion: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/19470756#Comment_19470756
@oawnstar, could I ask your stats?
@specter97
Hey There! Firstly, I didn’t know about this tab (I only checked the separate financial aid portal that says nothing). But I followed the steps mentioned in the earlier post and the message was there. That everyone includes 8 people including me, and 5 of us have less than 2200 SAT 1 (not that it means anything). So I doubt that this message means anything.
@oawnstar, that SAT… it’s going to kill me.
Thanks @WaywardVagabond.
@oawnstar Hello from a fellow international! It does seem a bit off now that you mention it. Honestly though, I still believe that it means you are accepted.
Your SAT scores certainly help. But admissions is holistic so you can’t predict what admissions committees saw in you when they made their decision.
@MohTamer @inshm2016 Are you guys international as well?
@WaywardVagabond
What do you mean?
@oawnstar May I know where you hail from?
Also, I think he or she meant your SAT scores, GPA and stuff. You know, the numbers we put into the results threads?
International student from India. SAT is 2290. Subject SAT (770 Physics 770 Math II). Quite a lot of EC, community work, music portfolio…school score in grade xi is average and and mid year review xii is also low in Physics n Math. However, intended major is English/Music, and not Physics or Math. English scores have been consistently good, including a few ranks at English Olympiads etc…
Need for FA…that could affect the decision?
Don’t worry about FA, Amherst applies a strict Need-blind FA policy for International students and applying for FA will surely not affect your chance to get in. Your stats looks great, good luck!
@GreenSweetness Did you do the FA widget thing yet? If so what did you get?
Anyone here apply to williams too? Good luck for later today. If anyone hears anything post quickly!!
@nsliyromanov Didn’t Williams come out already? I know someone who got in yesterday…
^^yes they did!!
Well given what @oawnstar just mentioned, the FA glitch may only work for US citizens. I do not believe this is the case as the FA is need blind for all.
Regardless, we will know today for sure. Best of luck to you all!
So I’m at Amherst today visiting on a college tour my family and I are on and we talked to admissions and they are still putting in financial aid information. Tbh I wouldn’t trust the glitch too much, especially if you think you didn’t get in yet because they’re still updating fin aid
@specter97 , I tried the FA glitch thing. No message…So, I guess the news is not good! Just got rejected from Skidmore, Grinnell, Middlebury and Duke…Not sure what is in store and don’t want to get hopeful now.
Has anyone got the financial aid message browsing using Mobile?
