<p>My stats were awful in comparison to other applicants. But I gave my all in my essays and I got in! Its all about being transparent and helping them to see what you can add. </p>
<p>p.s i saw that terrible video of the admission process and was 100% positive i wouldn’t get in</p>
<p>Congrats!
I am assuming you got in ED.
Can you share your stats?
Are you an URM by any chance?</p>
<p>Yay, more wonderful people at Amherst next year!!!</p>
<p>I'm more interested in, what are you interest, extra-curriculars, what do want to study, spill!</p>
<p>Hey, congrats! lol i'm totally jealous... i wish i could just have my decision and be done with it. Really, congratulations!</p>
<p>chillaxin09: you got in? wow! congrats! </p>
