Congratulations!! @2020senior2020
Amherst gave accepted students till 6/1 to apply for a deferral so they might not have a solid idea of numbers yet.

Yeah, thatâs possible. But if they havenât pulled from the waitlist, it means that their yield hasnât dropped. Their class, for now, must be full.
Any one heard any thing recently?
Nothing so far. I donât know if Amherst is even planning on using the waitlist since there has been no communication so far.
Just got off the waitlist !!! International student.
Apparently, there is a wave, I saw other fellows getting their decisions now!
@DJG123 Wow, thatâs amazing! Congratulations! If you donât mind, could you tell us where youâre from and if you applied for financial aid?
Would you know how many got off and if all are intls?
@u392302 Thanks! Iâm from China. I applied for financial aid, didnât receive the generous offer I expected, but still, enough for me to go!
@macaowllover I have no clear idea about the exact number of admitted students, I know 3 students whose decisions were out yesterday. Two of them got rejected.
Good luck for yâll <3
@DJG123 Wow, theyâre rejecting students from the waitlist as well? Thatâs scary. Congratulations, though! Have fun at Amherst!
@DJG123 Amherst didnât take anyone recently. You posted your comment on the 25th of may EST. That day was the Memorial Day in the USâa holiday.
Additionally, most colleges didnât start giving rejections yet!
Today I received an email from Amherst saying that it is âextremely unlikelyâ that they will take anyone else off of the waitlist. They offered me a spot on their âsmall summer waitlistâ although I am unsure if I will accept. They say they will close the regular waitlist on June 3rd
Hello. What did you do to maximize your chances of getting off the Amherst waitlist?
