<p>P.S.</p>

<p>I’m sending an art supplement and a brief abstract of my research</p>

<p>I also attended Amherst’s Diversity Open House Weekend which supposedly raises my chances.</p>

2

<p>Very good chance of being admitted...I've heard something like 75% of people who go to the DOH and apply are accepted, and you're a strong candidate anyway. Good luck.</p>

3

<p>DivOH acceptance doesn't raise your chances in and of itself, it just indicates that you are a very strong student. Your chances are pretty good. Best of luck.</p>

4

<p>Yes...it indicates that you have approximately a 75% chance of being accepted.</p>

5

<p>All I can say is WOW! If Amherst doesn't accept you, they are crazy!! Very impressive accomplishments. </p>

<p>What other schools are you applying to? Is Dartmouth one?</p>

<p>I think I am in love!!!</p>
