<p>The deans said that the decisions are completely finalized! One dean’s advice was to do something FUN over the weekend to get our minds off the decision! Easier said than done :’(</p>
<p>Was just told by someone (a counselor) that Amherst would consider my six weeks study at Johoku HS in Hiroshima (including Saturdays) a “dime a dozen” activity.</p>
<p>@amfreborg what part of Missouri are you from? I’m 30/40 minutes from St. Louis.</p>
<p>This thread went from chill and fun to frantic and worry-some RELAX people…BREAAATHH!!!
hahaha </p>
<p>What’s comin’ will come, and we’ll meet it when it does-Hagrid 
</p>
<p>@Fullmetal01: Yeah well I guess If I put it in like that my application would scream “Careless Comedian” now that is unique among a pool applicants determined on presenting themselves as world leaders 
</p>
<p>@Webster0585 I would hazard a guess, that about 15-20 Internationals will be accepted through ED, Plus you can never tell whats more important in your application. Its pretty holistic.</p>
<p>@amfreborg: as one Amherst Admissions Officer once said: “its like separating the James Browns from the James Taylors” everyone is remarkably similar in grades and stuff…so its always a lottery.</p>
<p>@LittleMissPink: You should have asked the dean why they are still sitting on the decisions…let us know already !!</p>

<p>Ive been constantly watching this… it is AMAZING!! just found it !</p>
<p>@blindsided That was beautiful! hahah It mad me laugh because I have moments where I think like that, and then have to remind myself that admissions committees are people too :P</p>
<p>This is probably the best admissions video out there, they mentioned amherst too hahaha</p>
<p>“can you hear them cry, I like it when they cry” BEST!!</p>
<p>@blindsided: THIS IS AMAZING hahahhaha. I can’t stop watching that bit about Amherst LOL “Why don’t you just DRIVE INTO A WALL” so great ahaha</p>
<p>I wish! I guess they just need a wee bit more time to get the system organized and make sure no errors are made? :D</p>
<p>Any student athletes applying?</p>
<p>The video’s hilarious LOL! Hahah ‘Amherst’ instead of "Princeton’ sounds familiar with sleep-deprived high-pressure apps!</p>
<p>@Webster0585 I run cross country and might run if I get in! What sport do you play? :)</p>
<p>Hahaahaha that video is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while :D</p>
<p>I hope all of you get in.</p>
<p>Thanks LurkerDad :)</p>
<p>@ Ellie512 - I play squash, I’ll definitely want to play in the team if I get in. I’ve been in touch with the coach and he’s been really nice!</p>
<p>@LittleMissPink: Im STILL watching it (life is slow these days )
or maybe they are doing it to purposely annoy us…that video really has caused me to look at things in a different way hahaa</p>
<p>on my gosh this is so excruciating D:
I swear I was gonna try to relax this weekend, but two of my friends just got their acceptances from Columbia this morning, so i’ve returned back to spazz mode 
my best friends are hearing about their decisions from Upenn and Wellesley tomorrow, so we’ve all agreed to wake up early for a group chat to shed tears of joy/sorrow together, haha.</p>
<p>At this point I just rlly want to hear about the decision can’t concentrate on exams at all.</p>
<p>@ ilatte I understand what your going through! Luckily I don’t have exams going on but it’s quite a big distraction considering we have all our other apps to finish!</p>
<p>@Webster0585 – We have a lot in common … I eat squash ;-)</p>
<p>@blindsided : trying to relax, but it isn’t working out too well. I’ve kept myself busy with stuff, but as soon as I’m done all that anxiety comes flooding back…3 days left my friend haha …and that video’s hilarious, are you sure they don’t really do that ? xD</p>
<p>@ilatte : yeah, that must really be stressful waiting…but know that we’re all going through the same thing lol</p>
<p>So I just trolled around the PENN ED thread… They crashed the admissions server! hahaha at least Amherst is small and I don’t think we have the manpower to do that =P</p>
<p>All my friends are getting their replies from all their ED colleges/universities and its getting me more and more nervous!</p>
<p>@Ellie - I hope that doesn’t happen to us, it’ll be soo frustrating!</p>
