<p>Sorry...my heading was supposed to have read, Did you visit Amherst?</p>
<p>Yup. I visited twice. Once as a sophomore, and once in October for DIVOH. The first time I wasn't really sure what I wanted in a school so it was more exploratory. I thought it was alright, very pretty, but generally blended in with the rest of the colleges I saw. In October I got a much better sense of the school. Every student I met was incredibly nice and willing to help/talk to me. The town was cute, if a little small, and the townsfolk were also incredibly nice and helpful with directions. Nothing really but positive things for me to say.</p>
<p>I also visited twice. I went to Dean's Day as a junior, and then went up for Homecoming as a senior. Dean's Day was very informative, but we weren't really exposed to students or the community. At Homecoming though I talked to a bunch of students, as well as an old friend I ran into, and it was fantastic. Amazing place.</p>
<p>Well with the letters being sent out today, I just want to wish every a final Good Luck, and hope everyone gets in :)</p>
<p>I wonder if the mail will be held up/slowed down because of the bad weather.</p>
<p>Exactly my suspicion.</p>
<p>I'm international and I just got accepted!
(I checked out my email about three hours ago)</p>
<p>Congratulations! You're probably the first one here!</p>
<p>Just checked mail as postman was putting it into mailbox...nothing yet, drat!</p>
<p>Congrats to pinkstones90 and kahulalula who received e-mails and letters, respectively on their acceptance to Amherst today. You will have a super weekend knowing that the waiting is over and you will be headed off to Amherst in the fall.</p>
<p>I also see that some of hopefuls to Bowdoin College have received letters, too.</p>
<p>Congratulations to those who've heard and good luck to everyone else waiting. We're all in the same boat. :-)</p>
