<p>My daughter applied ED to Amherst. We were wondering if it's possible that she could hear before December 15th? Is it common for colleges to not reply until the date they send out the acceptance letters? Just wondering?</p>
<p>Typically colleges adhere to the date they post. Most ED programs provide a date for notification and most stick to it. Even if the adcoms finish early, they'll most likely wait until the given date.</p>
<p>There was a topic about this in the JHU forum and for that school, it was determined that December 15th would be the earliest date to release ED admissions, even if the process was complete prior to the 15th.</p>
<p>Thanks. Amherst also has a Dec. 15th date. We were just hoping that maybe there could be a possibility.</p>
