Who did you turn down for Amherst?

I do. My daughter just finished her freshman year and it was more than she hoped for. She’s headed out soon for a summer internship (found with the help of the career center’s Amherst Select program and paid for by Amherst’s internship funding as it is for a non-profit and would otherwise have been unpaid).

I’ve been able to get to know several of her friends, hence the comment about kids who turned down Ivies to attend

(Then again, a family member turned down Yale for Denison so people DO turn down Yale for other schools - 30% do, in fact - but in the family member’s case it was partly for financial reasons).

You will be far from the only vet at Amherst, too. I’m sure you know that already
