<p>congrats you guys!</p>
<p>anybody on the west coast get one?!? ahh im so nervous!</p>
<p>I’m from California. Got one in the mail.</p>
<p>oh ****t really?!? ): darnit… are you from socal?</p>
<p>did all of you who got letters go to divoh?</p>
<p>^ I went to divoh, didn’t get a letter. Depressing.</p>
<p>i got one and DID go to divoh…</p>
<p>i second kiterunner’s thoughts.</p>
<p>seeing as i don’t know what divoh is, no, i didn’t go to that.
FYI the letter is dated Feb. 26</p>
<p>Introvert - Congrats! What are your stats?</p>
<p>I also got one and did do DIVOH. I believe it’s only by paper mail since my email states nothing regarding decisions.</p>
<p>did yours come today?</p>
<p>friend got in recently and his stats:</p>
<p>~4.5 GPA (4.5 = A honors, 5.0 = A in AP)
2200<sat<2400
no sports, no major clubs
kicker?: really really good violinist in New England</p>
<p>I’m awaiting a decision as well…but my grades are nowhere up to par. It’s not my top choice anyways, but I was surprised at how early some of these decisions came out.</p>
<p>Stridegumisbest, yeah it came yesterday, but was dated for February 26.</p>
<p>Do Amherst’s likely letters go to their top candidates for admission, like some other school’s likely letters do? Or are acceptances sent on a rolling basis? </p>
<p>I just got my acceptance letter in the mail, and I am in disbelief. And to be honest, freaked out. As an Asian from CA with no hooks going for me, I’d almost already decided I wouldn’t get in. Congrats to those with early acceptances! And best of luck to all of you who are still waiting!</p>
<p>Only their top candidates. On the website it states that Amherst mails its decisions for RD on April 1.</p>
<p>Keil, what are your stats? If you don’t mind…</p>
<p>Sure. They’re quite average in Amherst’s applicant pool, actually.</p>
<p>UW GPA: 3.81, WGPA: 4.47
2260 SAT (730 math/740 verbal/790 writing)
SAT II: 790 US History/740 Literature
35 superscored ACT
Female Asian from CA</p>
<p>My extracurriculars and recommendations probably helped me out a ton. I just looked through the viewbook again, and the 75% percentile for SAT scores is 2340. I’m awed and humbled.</p>
