<p>I got waitlisted, but haven’t heard from the admissions. The admissions told me that they had selected a small number of students from the waiting list and at this time it is unclear whether they will have to go deeper in to the waiting list.</p>
<p>I really wanna be admitted. Amherst seems to be the perfect place for me and I think I’m qualified. Btw, I am an international.</p>
<p>What can I do to increase my chances? I need your advices. Anything would be appreciated!</p>
<p>Well, there are all the usual stuff: send in extra materials such as testimonials, additional test scores, activities and awards, while making sure they are substantial, and not just fluff that makes yourself feel good. </p>
<p>But at this time, so late in the game, I don't think there's much you can do. Got a favorite religion?</p>
<p>Thanks, Nadash.</p>
<p>I have a preference for Buddhism, but I'm not a Buddhist myself. Does that matter?</p>
<p>haha, I think Nadash means you should start praying...</p>
<p>I guess I'd better not. In Buddhism it is believed that man should not have desire in order to reach ultimate enlightenment and peace.</p>
<p>I hope Jesus could hear me. lol</p>
<p>You could get your guidance counselor to call in.</p>
<p>You could get Jesus to call in.</p>
<p>At this stage in the game, I don't think even Jesus has a say.</p>
<p>lol... don't underestimate the powers of the divine... :P</p>
