Amherst regular decision thread

<p>I really wanted an early write :frowning: :frowning:
I got one from Swarthmore, so I was hoping Amherst would be so kind as to pass one along.</p>

<p>Hahaā€¦ready2go2 Iā€™m sure many of us wanted oneā€¦but looks like fairy Godmother just didnā€™t have space to accommodate all our wishes to fulfill this college season so weā€™ll just have to wait a couple of days more.
Btw, congrats on your Swarthmore likely!</p>

<p>@leo and @ready ā€” Can I ask your stats?</p>

<p>1320/2000 (M:680, CR: 640, W:680)
Bio: 590 Math I: 620 (horrible test taker)
African American
By June 2012 will receive Associates Degree as well as HS diploma
Absolutely no APā€™s, only 60 college credits</p>

<p>Guess Iā€™ll have to wait like everyone else for my decision. March needs to hurry up and be over!</p>

<p>yaydis --</p>

<p>May I ask your stats?</p>

<p>thx</p>

<p>@ambrefrog- not a huge fan of the stats comparison thingā€¦but just to give you a brief idea:
SAT: 2260 (760 CR 730 M 770 W
SAT IIs- 790 Math II (superscored), 720 Chem, 700 Phy
HS grades- am an international so gave my GCE A-levels
Year 11- 7 IGCSEs- all A*s
Year 12- 4 As in AS-levels (got awards for this one)
Right now- gap year, but giving 3 A-levels and 1 AS and working.
ECS- lots of leadership (tho limited to school), initiated a few community projects that were successful to varying degrees, and my passionā€™s writing :)</p>

<p>So yep, thatā€™s pretty much me in a nutshell.</p>

<p>Hey guys! :smiley: Iā€™m an RD applicant to Amherst too, wanted to wish everyone all the best! Iā€™m sure weā€™ll be biting our nails really hard on 29th! (Or right nowā€¦) :frowning:
Also, are likely letters always snail mailed, or are they emailed too? (intl applicant here :slight_smile: )</p>

<p>snail mailed, dear Cobalt.</p>

<p>Also, decisions are coming out on March 30.</p>

<p>Good luck to you too!</p>

<p>According to another thread somewhere here on CC, the decisions are to be snail-mailed on 3/27?</p>

<p>My ACData account says that my letter should be ready by March 30th.</p>

<p>@Leo- Ohkaay, thanks! :)</p>

<p>When would snail mail reach Sweden?</p>

<p>@SwedishChris: I suppose it takes a week or so. It does here to the Czech Republic so Iā€™m guessing Sweden wouldnā€™t be that much of a difference. It might even be on the same plane. :)</p>

<p>But anyway you should be able to check your decision online on your ACData account - there is a ā€˜View admission decisionā€™ link.</p>

<p>To those who received LLs in the mail, what does your ACData say? I unfortunately canā€™t check my mail for a while, but really want to know. :)</p>

<p>@kameronsmith: Someone already wrote that their ACData status did not change.</p>

<p>It was two weeks ago the mails were sent and I havenā€™t gotten one, but I am not surprised though. MisaMysa, have you gotten one yet?</p>

<p>@SwedishChris: Nope, no mail here at all. I didnā€™t really expect one as my stats are not so great but still hope for acceptance in the regular round.</p>

<p>I wonder exactly how many spots are left after ED and early writes. That scares me. Ahh I want Amherst so bad! </p>

<p>So itā€™s dead again XD</p>

<p>One week to go, any thoughts?</p>

<p>^^Just a lot of nervousness!</p>
