<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>it depends on the school.</p>
<p>Sometimes the letters come out a couple of days early, but it's unlikely to be much before that. You could do a search of CC to see when the letters came from Amherst the last couple of years.</p>
