I just checked the status of my online application and it says "submitted", before it was "under review. the status of the application won't change until the notification date" or something along those lines.
Does this mean I am dinged or maybe waitlisted for it to go back to submitted? Can someone please check what the status of their application is.
I know it's only one day left but you know the anxiety. I am not too hopeful about my application but let's wait and see.

Same here - guess the decisions are lined up to be released.

I wonder if they will release decisions earlier than noon tomorrow seeing that they probably have uploaded the decisions or have at least started to upload decisions.

HYSTERICAL PRE-DECISION READING.
NPR STORY ABOUT BEING INSIDE AMHERST COLLEGE ADCOM AS IT MAKES DECISIONS. SCARY, IF TRUE, WHICH I DOUBT. ALTHO THIS PART MIGHT BE TRUE-R THAN THEN IMAGINE.


Quote:

We're trying to separate the James Browns from the James Taylors, he says, and it's a daunting task.

RIGHT, AND AS YOU KNOW, JAMES TAYLOR WILL NEVER MAKE IT INTO AMHERST.

https://www.npr.org/2011/03/28/134916924/Amherst-Admissions-Process

SMITH: This one will fly, but another student's essay, read by Dean Kathleen Mayberry, will prove fatal.

Ms. KATHLEEN MAYBERRY (Dean, Amherst College): I'm troubled by one sentence in the first essay: I rarely get truly fascinated with a subject. And then he goes on - music is his exception. What am I supposed to do with that?

Mr. PARKER: My jaw dropped. I mean, that was flabbergasting.

SMITH: Intellectual passion is a must, says Parker. The students who get in are the ones who come across as genuine. It also helps to come across as different.

Unidentified Man #2: Vice president of the Jewish Club, president of the Japanese Society, an active member of the Muslim Club, and lastly, an observant of Hindu traditions.

Mr. PARKER: There is going to come a point where it's going to be very close to, you know, closing your eyes and doing that, because we're exhausting the meaningful criteria to separate John from Mary. For that group, it's effectively a lottery. It really is.

From Dee:

Greetings from Dillon House. Today is the day we check, double-check, and triple-check our lists to make sure all Round Two applicants will get a decision tomorrow. The plan is to send an email out - hopefully at noon our time - to let you know that your decision is available online. We also want to send a clear message that we will not be calling people to give them news of decisions - we'll call all admits later in the day to say congratulations. While we could do otherwise, we choose this way because I hate to think about the additional anxiety of waiting for the phone to ring. This way you're in control of the time and place you choose to get the news. So, hope this is helpful and looking forward to tomorrow!

i can't believe they admitted that kid that was the president of Jewish Club, active member of Muslim club and observant of Hindu traditions. He/she sounds confused. Bad decision!

Not so much confused--more like "I'm going to check every diversity-awareness box I possibly can and hope admissions doesn't realize how phony I am."

Well everyone, tomorrow's the big day. It will be a day of joy and celebration... and also heartbreak. Whichever side of the fence we end up on, we all worked our butts off, did the best we could, and left it all on the field.

Fortunately, most of us have prior admits - that definitely helps with the stress.

Best of luck to everyone tomorrow!
