Thanks for your advice! After visiting Amherst yesterday and Tufts today (my second time at both), I realized that my gut feeling overall is for Amherst. I think your posts really confirmed my feelings about the schools.

@Catfish - When I visited Amherst last time, the highlight of my visit was sitting in on a rehearsal of Beethoven 5. I really liked the way Prof. Swanson rehearses, and I prefer that to the Tufts sectional I sat in on today. Also, I love your repertoire – my junior symphony this year is playing Brahms 2 and Carmina Burana as well (but at a lower quality, certainly). What great pieces! Are you graduating this year? If not, I look forward to joining you in the Fall!
