Wait List Acceptance Rate

Amherst College's waitlist acceptance rate for the application year 2024 is 7.85%, with 47 out of 599 offered a place on the waitlist. This marks a significant recovery from previous years, as the acceptance rates were 0% in both 2023 and 2022, where no waitlisted students were admitted. Prior to that, data from 2021 and 2020 is unavailable. The substantial increase in acceptance this year reflects a more favorable outcome for waitlisted applicants compared to the recent past.
