<p>I want to be able to speak German too. actually i could speak perfect german when i lived there for 2 years at the age of 8! I was a cartoon maniac and spent the summer vacations watching 6 hours of German cartoons everyday.
But then i came back and forgot it all now all i remember is dankeshurn and gutenacht.</p>

<p>danielcarp- i really dislike coelho too. I read Alchemist when there was so much fuss about it and then read Vronika decided to die- his books seem to be written for the sole purpose of attracting attention- they make no sense and i canā€™t find a message in them.</p>

<p>Dan Brown went to Amherst!</p>

<p>Iā€™m from Boston! Iā€™ve been to ā€œPrahaā€ both on family vacations and on orchestra tours. I love that city. I like PEI too, but Newfoundland is more interesting, IMO.</p>

<p>Prince Edward Islandā€¦thatā€™s where Anne of Green Gables is from. Ah, my childhood.</p>

<p>Ok, update on the login situation: they kept trying to send it and it kept not working so I had to talk to tech support. I do have it now. Isnā€™t ACDATA so well-organized?!</p>

<p>Iā€™m not really a fan of ACDATA, all the info they have could fit on one page, I think itā€™s kind of annoying that you have to go to different pages.
But yeah, it is impeccably well organized.</p>

<p>Ha, thatā€™s why I like it; the extreme organization and separation of info. I am also OCD central. And I like the purple. A lot. Why canā€™t it be 4/1?</p>

147

<p>Haha Iā€™m majorly organized too, so Iā€™m not sure why I donā€™t like it. But yeah, purpleā€™s fabulous.
It canā€™t be 4/1 because then weā€™d have to skip St. Patrickā€™s Day, and I need to march in my last NYC paradeā€¦sorry :-P</p>

148

<p>4/1 is the day we hear from most schools and two weeks before my birthday. I wish it could be 4/1, badly!</p>

<p>yeah german is an interesting language but i find itā€™s less useful than French or Spanish unless you live near Germany/Austria.</p>

<p>Wait, so what date are the decisions being released?</p>

150

<p>Aabar, go harass another school. If youā€™re going to Midd, why do you need to read/bother the AC page?</p>

151

<p>i wanted some opinion whether it would look wierd if i ever mailed the admissions office asking them something i need to know and then include why i would love to go to Amherst? thereā€™s a lot i can write as it isā€¦</p>

152

<p>Pirate, they are mailed (i.e. the postal service) on 4/1.</p>

<p>Iā€™m guessing no.</p>

155

<p>Actually, I think you do but probably not until later in April just in case you didnā€™t get your mailed copy like everyone else. You could email and ask.</p>

On the day they send out the decisions, you have to send them an email and ā€œremindā€ them that youā€™re international. Theyā€™ll send you your decision via email then.</p>

<p>I just ran across this interesting article on the current admissions cycle, complete with projected admission rate and a good description of the process.
