Seachai I’ve read a few of you posts and it sounds like you want to go to Amherst but from this last post you sound like you don’t want to work hard to do that. You can’t will them to accept you just because you want to go there. It is the #1 or #2 LAC in the COUNTRY according to most ratings so…if you want to get in there you are going to have to work very hard and get really good grades and good SATs. Even at that you may not get in because they have many qualified applicants for each slot. After all each class is only 400+ students. It is not a matter of Amherst admissions “looking down” on you or anyone else for that matter. It might just be a matter of selecting some other student who has better stats or the same stats with some hook. Don’t get down about it…just do your best and when the time comes apply to a bunch of different schools that you like and see where you get in and where you can afford. That is all you can do! Good luck!
