I took guitar lessons for about 6 years and piano lessons for about 3 (doubt this holds any weight, but maybe it at least shows determination? haha)


I'm attracted to Amherst because of the open curriculum; I love learning and I look forward to taking classes that will benefit my future or satisfy my curiosity without worrying about curriculum standards. I will hopefully be majoring in either history or political science, but Amherst's history course selection doesn't really appeal to me as much as the history dept. at other colleges.

Thank you for your time!
