<p>Has Amherst usually taken its time in notification? I am really losing sleep over this.</p>
<p>Beats me. But yea, I have to admit this is a bit inconsiderate of Amherst to have the decisions out by April <em>15th</em>. UGH. I really just wanted to get the rejections all over with yesterday!</p>
<p>It seems arrogant to me. I'm not exactly sure why, but it does.</p>
<p>their apps rose by about 21% this year; I'm sure it's taking them a bit longer. I don't agree that it's arrogant - Amherst has often been early in notifying other people, including myself. I don't know if they expected they'd have to go through another 1,000 apps this year when making decisions. For now, we should give them the benefit of the doubt.</p>
