Applying to College

<p>I was listening to NPR the other day, and they had a segment on college admissions. They went behind the scenes of the admissions committee at Amherst College. You pretty much get the idea that everything random! It’s very interesting. Give it a listen, it might make you feel better about any rejections you may have gotten so far :)</p>

<p>This was pretty interesting. Out of all the things I’ve read and heard about the admissions process, this was the most surreal. </p>

<p>In the story, they talk about “SP31” schools that are need affirmative.
Is there anywhere I could find a list of these schools? I couldn’t find anything on google.</p>

<p>I wonder if any Amherst applicants heard this and found out that they were being talked about…</p>
