<p>I noticed that you asked about Amherst. They haven’t released their final acceptance numbers, but their total applications fell just over 2%, from 6281 last year to 6135 this year – the same for all intents and purposes.</p>

<p>If they accept the same 1176 as last year, that would put Amherst’s acceptance rate at about 19%. </p>
<p>Williams’ applications were up 2.3%. Acceptance rate, assuming the same number of acceptances as last year, will be almost identical to Swat’s and Amherst’s – 18% to 19%.</p>
