<p>hello
I’m a senior agonising over where to ED.
The three schools I’ve listed above are all amazing, awesome schools and they are all reach skuls for me :frowning:
People told me to visit them and decide which one to apply but im not in that kinda situation… also ED is too good to miss so I want to apply one of them.
Which one would I fit in the most??</p>

<p>Brown:
I love everything about brown I can’t find any bad things about brown…maybe except the fact that people tend to form cliques. I’d prefer more family-like envt. does brown put strong emphasis on writing? I want to improve my writing skill!! but my biggest concern is whether I would get accepted or not. Brown has the lowest ED acceptance rate among the three so…</p>

<p>Amherst:
I also love everything about amherst but it seems to me that the number of students is too small…I mean compared to brown or dartmouth. I want more diverse students. That’s the only concern.</p>

<p>Dartmouth:
Dartmouth used to be my first choice but I read many articles/opinions about D plan and I really don’t like the D plan. My highschool has quarter system so I know how stressful it is and how time flies so fast. I want a more relaxed envt. </p>

<p>please give me advices :)</p>

<p>Amherst DOES have a diverse student body - no matter how small the population is.</p>

<p>See my post on your Brown thread.</p>

<p>Amherst is all about diversity, the kind that goes way beyond the color of one’s skin. I’ve found in my experience here that everyone has a story to tell, some extraordinary aspect.</p>

<p>Although Amherst is relatively small, it trumpets diversity louder than its peers, and it’s been aggressive in acting affirmatively to ensure that every student will contribute something meaningful to the community.</p>

<p>If you remain conflicted, just don’t apply ED.</p>
