<p>I called the admissions office this morning and they informed me that decisions will not be sent out until the 17th; however, I have a transfer scholarship from another school that I have to give a response to by the 16th, so Amherst told me that they will tell me whether or not I got in on the 16th if I call them.</p>
<p>This is my second time applying from Holyoke Community College, my gpa is 3.65 so I don’t have a great chance. I got accepted into Hampshire College and I must give my deposit by the 15th so I was hoping Amherst would give me an answer by then </p>
<p>@bet2012 I suggest that you call up Amherst today and let them know that you have to submit a deposit by the 15th. I’m sure that they will work with you.</p>
