<p>Any admitted students planning on going to the receptions? I’m an ED student and thought I can’t go to the admitted students days at Amherst, I’m considering going to the reception locally. Anyone been to them in the past or have an idea of what it will be like?</p>
<p>My D2 was an ED admit in 2009. We went to the local reception and it was terrific. You’ll meet other admits/classmates and learn more about Amherst. Recent grads and alumni will be there. Amherst has a very active alumni network and it’s good to be involved early. (and there’s great food)</p>
<p>Would it be worth a five hour drive? I really want to go, and I don’t think I’ll be able to make the open house…</p>
<p>5 hours seems excessive. I’d say there and back in an evening. Don’t miss school to get to it. You’ll meet everyone in the Fall. Will you be attending an Admitted Student Day at Amherst?</p>
