<p>im curious, what sort of questions does the supplement essays ask you? is it basically answering a philosophical question of anthony marx?</p>
<p>last year's questions were a choice of 6 quotes by various people affiliated with amherst (professors, alumni, etc.). You had to respond to the particular quotation in an essay. They were pretty open-ended, and gave you plenty of choices in what to write about. Marx had a quote, as did Amherst's astronomy professor George Greenstein, author David Foster Wallace, and a few more.</p>
<p>Has the supplement been released yet? If so, can someone link me to it? I can't seem to find it. Thanks.</p>
<p>I went onto the Common Application and it indicated that Amherst was still working on its supplement and it has not been released. i also went onto the school's web page and it was not there yet. So I guess we will just have to be patient. The college does note that students on its mailing list will be sent an application in August.</p>
