<p>Common app instructions for Amherst Option B states that the you can submit the option B graded paper separately if it’s over 500kb in size. I can think of two ways to do this: (1) email the graded paper to <a href=“mailto:admission@amherst.edu”>admission@amherst.edu</a>, or (2) wait for amherst application tracking login instructions after common app submit and maybe they have a link there somewhere to let you submit additional material?</p>
<p>I am planning on doing RD, so can any ED applicant shed some light on this? (e.g., do they even have a link within your login page to let you submit stuff other than art/music stuff?)</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Amherst doesn’t have a login page for submitting arts or stuff, but AFAIK there is a part on the common app that asks if you want to add in an arts supplement. I think you have to upload it directly there. As for the graded paper, I think it’s the same: upload it to the writing supplement part there on common app. I did option A so I can’t confirm but 90% its uploading it to CommonApp. No place to add it in the login page. </p>
<p>My son applied last year with option B. I was unable to upload the paper so I sent it by regular mail. He got accepted!</p>
<p>Great. Sounds like the best option is to email a copy to <a href=“mailto:admission@amherst.edu”>admission@amherst.edu</a>, and attach your Amherst application ID# and your name. I might follow up with a phone call to admissions to alert them and make sure.</p>
