<p>Are my chances really low if I have won little/no awards? Everyone seems to have won so many!</p>
<p>Not everyone can win, and there are many who are not competetive out there, so just be yourself. It's who you are, in composite, that makes you their choice or not. An award isn't enough to outweigh all the other wonderful things I am sure you have accomplished. Amherst will judge you for who you are.</p>
<p>I received an early write last year with no awards. Relax! :)</p>
<p>oh whew thanks so much for the replies!</p>
