Likely Letters/Early Acceptances

<p>yeah, no one seems to know whether or not internationals get them... I know some schools send them to internationals but i don't know about Amherst.</p>

<p>:) pirate, today I got fooled. I thought u received a likely!</p>

<p>haha really? Why did you think that I received a likely?</p>

<p>... I wish i had received a likely though.</p>

<p>Oh cause those guys were predicting today was the day for likely letter, I was keeping an eye on the thread :)</p>

<p>haha ohhh i see - shoot, i thought you had made some kind of prediction of me getting a likely letter using the moon cyle, magic potions and my profile name :)</p>

<p>I'm predicting that someone will get one tomorrow.</p>

<p>this is truly the most agonizing process of my life. (I guess I'm lucky, though, if that's the case.) ;)</p>

<p>This.process.sucks.</p>

<p>^^^Is it sad that my immediate reaction to the above post was "Hmm, I don't know of any sucks() function."</p>

<p>Sure there is! Don't you have a TI-89? It's under the Calc menu :)</p>

<p>Ha! 10char</p>

<p>While I am unlikely to recieve a likely letter I am still managing to freak out about getting one. I keep checking back to see if any of you have recieved one yet. Be sure to post if you do!</p>

<p>Pirate, I am getting my crystal ball out now, ha!</p>

<p>Same here, Skaka!</p>

<p>haha good - we need to be ready. Ok... so maybe they weren't sent out today. Maybe tomorrow? </p>

<p>Ok here's a way to think of this situation positively: as of right now there is a possibility that we could all get likely letters but once they are actually sent out/the RD decisions come not all of us will be so happy. So in a strange way that makes little sense.... this wait is a good thing.</p>

<p>Well, there's my sad attempt at showing the pros of this situation.</p>

<p>if we could find the numbers we could figure out the probability of one of us getting a likely letter...
the fact that i thought of that makes me feel like a nerd.</p>

<p>anyway...piratemonkey, good thinking!!! we can still be optimistic for now :)</p>

<p>Guys, I wish I could eat my words about internationals getting early writes.</p>

<p>I got one today.
!
It was an email.</p>

<p>I am so excited and happy! It says I'll receive an email about financial aid shortly. I was definitely not expecting this. I think I'm going to burst.</p>

<p>I guess then EW are out. Those of you who'll get an EW via physical mail should be receiving it soon.</p>

<p>I just hope they didn't make a mistake and take my acceptance back...</p>

<p>Best of luck to all. I honestly hope you get in!</p>

<p>AHHHHHH CONGRATULATIONS DANIELCARP!!!!! That's so cool! So is Amherst your first choice? </p>

<p>So i guess if they sent e-mails to internationals today then i'm not getting an EW :( Oh well.... there's still the RD round to come.</p>

<p>Thanks! </p>

<p>Academically, yes. But financial aid is a big deal.</p>

<p>Maybe they're not done with EW though! I hope not, because I'd like you to get in!</p>

<p>thanks :) I'd like to get in too! </p>

<p>I think if they liked you enough to give you an EW they will probably make sure they give you enough financial aid to attend amherst.</p>

<p>CONGRATULATIONS DANIELCARP!!!!!!!!!!
OMG, AMHERST early write!!!</p>

<p>BTW, where are you from?</p>
