My thoughts from your initial post are that you prefer Amherst but it’s tough to let go of other selective schools. You like many specific things about Amherst: the people, the diversity, the opportunities provided by the consortium, the majors, and the town. Most of your listed strengths for Vassar are fairly vague. It almost reads as though you had to come up with a couple just so you’d have an equal number of points to consider. If you like Amherst, it’s okay to let Vassar go.
