Diversity is the key word here. Your school sounds liek the kind that Amherst might like to have represented in its student body. And they look at what the school offers against what you took. However, it would be really wonderful if you took some initiative to get those extra classes - online or through a junior college. I know there is a student there that did just that when her school failed to offer what she wanted, and I understand her school had no AP classes at all! She was in, but she went the extra mile to get the education she wanted. Do that, and you, too might be a Lord Jeff.
