<p>Thanks, elbeeen 
Congrats on your acceptance!</p>
<p>I got accepted, but I think I’m going to turn it down because I can’t afford to miss my classes on Monday. I’m already having to miss some classes to visit WashU (which is higher on my list).</p>
<p>wow…I almost missed the deadline -_-. I already bought the AMTRAK tickets before sending the fax to Amherst, and apparently I have to call the travel agency at Amherst? I hope I can still get reimbursed???</p>
<p>idiot, i’m just mailing my tickets adter divoh for reimbursement. thats one way other than using their travel agent</p>
<p>@nne718 - If you do not mind me asking - is WashU paying to fly you in or are you paying for it yourself? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>The WashU program requires that you pay for yourself. But they provide meals and housing.</p>
<p>Thanks elbeen- </p>
<p>Do they actually have a Diversity weekend or is it just whenever you can take the time off to visit? </p>
<p>Sorry for hijacking the thread.</p>
<p>Hahaa no problem! And I don’t think it’s for diversity. I think it’s just a weekend for any propsective students who apply before the deadline.</p>
<p>@elbeen
i just completely forgot what my ID was and thought you were calling me an idiot 
This is the problem of using a random screenname so nobody would know who you are…</p>
<p>^ hahahahaha never would i call you that :]</p>
<p>@2011VAMom and @elbeeen, WashU is actually paying for me to go. Most people have to pay for themselves though.</p>
<p>I think I’m going to go ahead and do the Amherst thing. Hopefully I can get an early flight back or something.</p>
<p>I was accepted but sadly won’t be able to attend because I’m studying abroad in Taiwan - Amherst said that they’re unable to fund the cost of the trip considering the cost, which is very understandable. </p>
<p>Hope all goes well for all of you attending :)</p>
<p>My D didn’t get accepted for this either–but thankfully her application fee was waived. I believe it when they say their numbers are up. Great Reputation + Increased word of mouth + Lousy economy = Higher application numbers. Folks, there a lot of great schools out there–odds are you’ll get into one of them. Not everyone is going to accept ya’. That’s okay–its part of the process. Just go for it/don’t fear rejection.</p>
<p>I got my letter Friday; accepted for the October session. =D Pretty exciting; I had no clue I would actually be considered. It will be a long day probably seeing I live in Texas and I will have to fly to Massachusetts. (plus, the nearest airport is 3 hours away) but that’s okay. Can’t wait to see anyone else there!</p>
<p>^ Sheesh, that is a long day hahaa. But congrats :]</p>
<p>Thanks! Yes, it is one downfall of living in the smallest town ever located in the middle of nowhere, but guess it also sets me apart. (There are 18 people in my class; 66 in my school)</p>
<p>Wow, flyingdeloreans, I’m so sad about that! I was looking forward to meeting you… :(</p>
<p>See you all in barely one week :D</p>
<p>This may be a silly question, but on AMTRAK can we check luggage although the Amherst station has no baggage hours/help (does it mean they have no baggage center?)? Eek I can’t believe it’s already tomorrow…I hope we can do work at night…need to write essays…</p>
<p>Hahaa we all met yesterday and yet I don’t know who any of you are on here! Idiotqueen, I probably saw you waiting for the train this afternoon. I hope you guys loved Amherst as much as I did! Oh and I thought it was hilarious that one girl had an LLBean bag because that’s the concept behind my collegeconfidential name.</p>
