I received that letter last year.

Your daughter sent her SAT scores to Amherst and her scores fell within Amherst’s acceptable range, so she is receiving Amherst’s letter of recognition. There should be more invites as the admissions season progresses.

FWIW, Amherst tried hard to recruit me last year (paid-for visit, mailings, etc.). I ended up at Williams.

LACs have the tendency to send targeted mailings to specifically the students they want and think will attend. It gets weird at times.

btw, i’m not an athlete, far from it. Besides being a URM, just a normal kid
