I wonder if that 15+10 number includes the projected "trickle-downs" from Harvard/Yale waitlists.

full of question

so does that mean amherst has finished taking people off the waitlist if we didn't get a call this week?

i think they will make phone calls tmr as well cause the office opens on sat as well.

dang it...
so is this what it'll look like?

-25ish people get taken off waitlist this weekendish
-if a few of the 25 people say "no thanks"
admisson office goes to other kids on the waitlist

-repeat x however many times needed until june or even July pending on people accepting offer

btw, harvard is taking off 150 people from the waitlist? Yale is taking off 40? is this INSANE or what?

I got into Amherst. Yea!

skunk: when did you get the call?

kwu

More embarrassing than insane, really
< off the waitlist

tako

Oh! Did they tell you today? I assume that if I didn't get a phone call, Amherst doesn't plan on accepting me, then

Truthfully speaking, I believe kwu is the one who most deserved to get off the waitlist. Reading your posts, I felt you are the one most eager to go to Amherst. Hopefully I'll meet you come August. Good luck!!!

I checked my email today, and discovered that they'd sent me an email on the 8th of May. They'd also sent me another email asking if I was still interested in Amherst on the 7th, and I'd replied in the affirmative.

btw, I'm an international. So that explains the emails.

I am international too... no interest shown for me yet... and I assure everyone I am the most anxious of all to go to Amherst(:P)....

I will call them today, see what I can do... what is the name of the person responsible for international applicants?

skunk where are you from?

Nepal, ever heard of this country?

kwu

Haha, thank you, ami, I look forward to meeting you too!

I don't think you've read some of my older posts, though...
Let's just say I loved to cause trouble on the Ivy League forums

I communicated exclusively with my regional director, and he with my guidance counselor, so I'm a special case. I found out through her, and he e-mailed me Friday morning to confirm. So, no call for me, I guess.

And, to everyone else still waiting, know that students admitted to Amherst are often cross-admits to Harvard, Princeton, Yale, etc. Harvard plans on admitting 150-175+ off its waitlist, Yale 45+, Princeton 90+, so Amherst may "lose" a few of its students in time. There's still hope yet, even if you aren't part of Amherst's "25."

my cousin got off the waitlist earlier this week, and she will probably accept the offer.

she comes from new york city.

good luck to the rest of you still waiting!
