<p>You certainly have the stats, but so will everyone who applies. There is more to it than that - it's fit. Do you have something that the college wants that someone else won't give it? The essays are crucial, especially since Amherst has no interviews. They need to find out who you are in those. Work on them very hard. I think you're a wonderful candidate. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks. I really like the essay I'm writing for the supplemental prompt - I managed to work in my passion for music and I've showed it to a couple friends who think it's a unique idea.</p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>
