Early Writes

It’s that time of year again! I was just curious - has anyone gotten an Amherst early write yet? If so, what state are you from?

I’m assuming that no one has had any luck yet? Maybe they’re not doing them this year since they usually have sent them out by now and from what I’ve seen here and other places no one has gotten one yet.

That’s really weird. Maybe they are doing them this year only for the athletes? :smiley: Well good luck everyone, regardless of whether we get in or not, I just hope the best for you guys~:heart:(:

Almost all the recruited athletes get in ED.

Got an early write today :slight_smile: I’m from PA

@tenderp was it via email or snail mail? And what was it dated?

It was uploaded to my application portal, and the letter is dated March 10th.

My dad randomly checked my application, and it was on there, but I didn’t receive any prior email notifying me of the update, which I find odd.

I see. @tenderp if you don’t mind my asking, are you an international and did you apply for financial aid?

@tenderp under which heading in your portal was the letter uploaded?

@clueless96 I’m from PA (not international) and I applied for financial aid. I haven’t had the chance to check the portal myself, but when my dad logged in there was a notification that an update to my application had been posted.

@tenderp thanks. Are you a non athletic applicant? If so, your applications must’ve been really amazing.

@clueless96 Haha, thanks and no problem! I am a non-athletic applicant, so I didn’t expect this at all.

I got my early write today… I am from PA. Super excited!

Ooh, so we’ve got two from PA so far…I wonder where else they’ve been released.

@16elir @tenderp would you mind putting your stats?

sure @ammoopi

Hope that is helpful. Let me know if you’d like more info/if I’m missing any stats.

Holy…that’s pretty amazing @16elir! No wonder…you definitely deserve the early write!
