Seems like the Amherst threads have been a little quiet for the class of 2029. Anyone out there not so patiently waiting for March?

Not patient at all over here. My kid is an excellent student but not tip top and it is just so competitive so expecting a rejection. Just want the band-aid ripped off so he can fully move on to the places he has gotten into. I feel this way about the 3 RD decisions he is waiting on. Back in the day, I myself was rejected from Amherst. I feel like this is going to be like being rejected all over again. Best of luck to everyone!

My daughter is the same - not expecting to be accepted to her remaining RDs, but at the same time she is hopeful with a “Why not choose me?” attitude
Good luck to all!

Probably not, Williams/Amherst usually release near the end of the 3rd week of March (congruent with their posted date)

Sorry, it’s brutal. Our counselor says it’s more competitive than last year which seems impossible.
