Got into both.
Benton Scholar at Colgate.
Colgate: Benton Scholars
It's a fairly elite group of about twenty, that basically just get a bunch of perks. From meeting world leaders up close like Colin Powell, to trips to Russia or India. This Dan Benton guy donated like 25 million for the program, and it's only it's second year in existence.
Amherst is pretty difficult to pass up though.
No idea which to choose. While I value getting the best education, I also would like to have some fun in college, and I have my doubts about Amherst's social atmosphere. However, it's prestige, especially in this economy is a big factor... an alum told me that if I don't choose Amherst, I'm probably not smart enough to go there. I thought that was a pretty good line. Thoughts?
