I'm applying to Amherst College and chose regular decision. Does anyone know when they typically notify applicants of their decision? I'm trying to plan my schedule around potential college visit dates. Any insights would be great!
Amherst College typically sends out its regular decision notifications around the end of March, but the exact date can vary from year-to-year. For the most accurate information, you should check the Admissions section of the Amherst College website or reach out directly to the admissions office. Once you receive your decision, if it's positive, you'll have until the national reply date of May 1st to make your final decision.
Also, in terms of planning your visits, Amherst usually holds admitted students events in April. However, you might want to wait until you receive your official decision notification before making any concrete plans. Remember that many colleges, including Amherst, offer virtual tours and events if you're unable to visit in person. These can be a great resource to learn more about the school, connect with current students and staff, and get your questions answered.
