<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>Don't know about Amherst specifically but most colleges they send out the responses on the published date. It's the fact that a very few may jump the gun that makes everyone wonder if School X will do so.</p>
<p>Do they mail it out on the 15th, or should we receive an answer by the 15th?</p>
<p>most colleges mail on dec 15 or email...depending on the college. im not sure about amherst though...</p>
