Likely Letters/Early Acceptances

<p>So someone over on the Williams thread received an early acceptance offer and I was wondering if any Amherst applicants had? I don’t think I’ll get one but it would be soooo incredible to be accepted to Amherst! Good luck everyone!</p>

<p>Amherst does Early Writes. D received hers around March 1, a few years ago.</p>

<p>Dude. That's going to drive me craaazy.</p>

<p>Same here. Glad I'm going away next week. Buddies, PM me if you get one!</p>

<p>Oh I know - now if I don't get one (which I'm pretty sure I won't), I'll feel like there is no way I will ever get into Amherst. I know that in reality only a small percentage of RD applicants get these letters but still... </p>

<p>Froghorn, I'll definitely message you if I get one. Message me if YOU get one! Wow, if I ever got one I would be absolutely ecstatic!</p>

<p>Do not think about Early Writes. Forget that they exist. No good can come from worrying about them.</p>

<p>Catfish, I think you're totally right about that. It's such a small percentage of admits who get them and not getting one isn't conclusive of anything although it would be nice in a major kind of way.</p>

<p>Catfish and Froghorn - you guys are right but it's hard not the think about them, especially if other people from our schools get them and we don't. I'll try not to worry but I just can't help it :S I'm going away next week though so that should take my mind off it.</p>

<p>I agree with piratemonkey. It's impossible not to think about the EWs. Every time I open my mail box, I open it expecting such an offer. However, all I seem to receive is deferrals and rejections.:(</p>

<p>Yeah, I second skunk.</p>

<p>yeah, everyday I get home the first thing I do is check the mail. I used to get something from colleges in the mail almost everyday and now I haven't gotten anything for a week :( I know I shouldn't be stressing because I've already been accepted to two good schools that I wouldn't mind attending I just won't be satisfied unless I get into one of my US schools - which hasn't happened yet...</p>

<p>Oh well, I'm going away for a week so maybe when I get back I will have something waiting form me.</p>

<p>I just realized it's more than halfway through February and had a slight "oh, wow" attack.</p>

<p>I'm going to be so uppity when it gets to march...</p>

<p>Yeah, same here.</p>

<p>I don't expect an EW either, but just knowing they exist makes me feel more expectant and anxious.</p>

<p>Come on guys, we'll definitely survive the wait!</p>

<p>Pirate, where are you vacationing?</p>

<p>I'd have been better off if I knew nothing about the EWs. The knowledge just increases my worries.:(</p>

<p>That's probably why the admissions office doesn't really publicize them or otherwise call attention to them. Everyone would be better off if they remained an unexpected surprise.</p>

<p>Hey danielcarp, I'm in Austria skiing - how bout u? Skunk and Catfish, I definitely agree that knowing about likely letters just makes me that much more stressed out. If I don't get any I will feel like I'm not going to be accepted at all :( Ahhhhhhhh I want to go home and check my mailbox but I'm not going back for another week!</p>

<p>Austria, wow! Lucky you :). </p>

<p>I think I should be avoiding CC couple of days myself. I am driving myself crazy thinking every has such great scores, tht I feel so under qualified applying to such great schools.</p>

<p>Oh trust me, my scores suck compared to everyone piratemonkey so dont feel bad.</p>

<p>yeah CC is giving me an inferiority complex... I really should just leave it but I can't :)</p>

<p>i think all message boards are addicting</p>
