Early decision applicants discussion thread

yup, just got that email as well.

SH*T I THOUGHT I HAD UNTIL THE 15TH AT LEAST TO PREPARE MYSELF. CRAP!!!
Rejection, here I come!

I got the same email today.

Looking forward to Friday!

Good luck everyone.

I hoping the best for you guys!

@lesleymmm Thanks! I’m so jealous you’re done with waiting, although you probably went through this process as well, before us. I’m actually happy they pulled forward the date though - I’m more of the "let’s pull of the band-aid before the ice cream! person. Although I am a bit worried that it’s out on the day before my final exams…I’m either going to be busy crying of despair(99%) or crying of joy(1%…with luck) to focus on them…oh well.

@Jenni7298 It was soooo nerve racking! We had our decisions on December 1st so I was completely freaking out all day. I expected like 6 straight rejections so it was so surprising to realize Amherst said yes. Just gotta hope for the best so hopefully you’ll be crying of joy!

@lesleymmm You got matched through questbridge?!? That’s awesome. I was a 2014 QB finalist and actually also attended the Amherst DIVOH program last year. I’m reapplying this year and hoping for the best.

Do you guys think it would be an OK idea for me to not look at my admissions decision until after my exams are over? I don’t want to be distracted by whatever my results are and do poorly on my exams…

@YoAdriaaaaan I’m planning to do the same…if I can. Most likely, curiosity will kill the cat and I’ll end up looking for the results an hour before they are out lol

yeah, I got it too.
Can’t wait!!

Lol, told you guys.

contrary to most of you, I’ll get my decision at around 3-4 AM on 12th December as I’m in India and we’re 9:30+ from EST. So, I won’t be able to sleep all night till the decision arrives, and then whether its an acceptance or rejection, I still won’t be able to sleep till morning coz both of these decisions would have me shocked!!

And consequently do poorly on my math exam on 12th :frowning:

although @antogyr said that the time is 6PM EST, does anybody have ‘‘confirmation’’ of the exact time when the decisions will be released??

@antogyr how the heck did you know that was going to be the date and time? Was that a total guess?

Late in the afternoon on Friday, December 11 was fairly predictable based on last year’s notice date of late in the afternoon on Friday, December 12.

On last year’s ED Decisions thread the first note regarding a decision was posted shortly after 3 pm Eastern time (on the Friday preceding the 15th).

There’s been a recurrent suggestion on CC that schools release their decisions at the end of the business day on Fridays so no one can call the admissions office for a couple of days.

Hey guys, out of curiosity, what’s your status at the FA Data page?

“Currently no decision available at this time. Please check in later”

Good luck to all of you! I applied ED to Williams, and decisions are released tomorrow. Can’t wait to be rivals with some of y’all :)>-

I hope . I just hope!
