<p>I agree. However, I believe that the selection process was highly based on promoting diversity, as the name suggests. There were obviously too many applications, and thus they chose a pool that seemed to best represent different socioeconomic areas. I hope, however, that me applying but being rejected still works in my favor, because I am showing interest in the school. I could be wrong though, and come application time, they might not know who I am at all.</p>
<p>Yeah I think you applying definitely shows a lot of interest Shiny20!</p>
<p>The letter was very kind. They gave priority to those who have never visited. D has been to the Amherst campus, so she was not considered.</p>
<p>However, they are waiving the application fee, so I still love Amherst.</p>
<p>My child told me that he will not be applying to Amherst College.
(Amherst was one of his top three colleges.)
I hope he changes his mind but it will not happen. I know him.</p>
<p>DivOH application process left sour taste in his mouth.
He thought that he did not have much chance to begin with. He felt like he was a sidekick to the show.</p>
<p>Congratulation to everyone who got invited!
Good luck and have fun at Amherst College!</p>
<p>Rejected. Do only some people get application fee waivers or do they give them out to everybody who applied?</p>
<p>@TheBaus, I am unsure. In the letter I received, it simply stated that if I sent the dean of admissions a letter that he would be happy to email me an application fee waiver. I, however, do not know if this comes with specific qualifications. I suggest simply emailing their office and see what happens.</p>
<p>@elbeen! I remember you from your response in another thread of this topic. (or was it this thread…?) And that facebook thing sounds good…</p>
<p>Haha nice !</p>
<p>Has anyone from the South heard anything? D is anxious to find out and still nothing in the mail.</p>
<p>My D was rejected last year from this program. but she got in.<br>
class of 2014! having great time there now.</p>
<p>^ Goes to show that DivOH rejectees should not give up on Amherst! I feel like the application was based on numbers and a stringent essay whereas your actual college application will actually reflect your personality and passions! Don’t give up on Amherst guys :)</p>
<p>Well, I posted this in the Questions thread too, but anyone who got into the September session, pm me! I’m excited 
I justtt found out, can you tell?</p>
<p>I think my cousin commented on this thread about how he got rejected from DIVOH, but still got accepted. I’ve visited Amherst, so I was really worried that I wouldn’t get into DIVOH, but luckily I did & I’m very excited!</p>
<p>Congrats to both of you ! :)</p>
<p>So guys I made a facebook group, and it is ‘Amherst DivOH 2010’. Join please if you were accepted. Thanks and I look forward to meeting all of you</p>
<p>^ you rock hahaa</p>
<p>I actually haven’t gotten anything yet - I’m Californian and applied for the October session. After hearing all of you getting your letters (and re-reading the confirmation email saying that I should be “hearing news soon”), I called today and the Admissions Office told me that I should get something in the next couple of weeks. </p>
<p>Did anyone else get the same answer? This feels so…ominous.</p>
<p>Yea when I called, before I got my acceptance letter, the lady told me that I would get mine in about a week and a half; and the next day, I got the letter in the mail.</p>
<p>Flyingdeloreans, perhaps they’re only mailing out September session letters this week.</p>
