General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations etc.:
Yeah Amherst! They want me!</p>
<p>To the class of 2012: Just remember your year is going to be crazy and sometimes its just luck whether or not you get in. Maybe you get a reader who really likes your personality and they advocate for you. Who knows…</p>
<p>so are you coming next year eventer? or did you get into a school higher up on your list...</p>
<p>I'm undecided still (watch everyone try to convince me) Its Amherst, Cornell or Brown (who thought I withdrew when I didn't so I am getting my decision Friday) but then I also have three waitlists. Amherst had really grown on me and I am going to Admitted Student Days. Its so small though and it would be wierd if the val and I went to the same school. I def like the liberal arts/focus on undergrads.</p>
<p>it's funny you should say that, because the valedictorian from my school is going as well...he happens to be one of my best friends, though, so it's more sweet than weird</p>
