Was accepted to Amherst today–wahoo!
Me too! International student from Tunisia!
Congraaats !
Congrats! My daughter was too! From North Carolina,
I didnt even know that Amherst had an Early acceptance (beyond ED). Is this for Internationals? Athletes? Or the general application pool?
@twoboys2 I think it’s for the general application pool. I got one and I’m from Tunisia. Americans got them as well !
I did a little research and most in the general pool are not candidates for Early Writes. Congratulations! Its a wonderful thing to be able to “exhale”. Enjoy!
My D was in the general pool. Definitely not an athlete or international.
I got an early write, too:) I’m an international student from Japan. I read on last year’s College Confidential post that many of the early writes are for minority or low-income applicants.
Congratulations!

guys, I still don’t have a decision in the portal , is it the same with you ?
Wow! That’s impressive, and makes me even more anxious about my decision :-S anyway, congratulations to you all!
No decision yet in D’s portal. I don’t think they use the portal until regular notification date. Did either of you apply for Financial Aid? If so, did you get an offer?
@rosbo3 Same for mine. I think it will be posted on the day the official decisions are released.
@lillyray74 Don’t worry; all of the current students whom I talked to received their decisions in late March.
@marcoroca I applied for financial aid:) I didn’t get an offer yet…I’m guessing that we will be notified in late March/April, around the same time as all regular decision applicants.
Yeah my stats are in line with everybody else’s posts–ACT of 35. Congrats to all and join the Facebook group!
