<p>oh my god i just got my waitlist letter.
amherst is my very first choice.</p>
<p>i NEED this acceptance.
should i write a letter with the waitlist postcard to show how much i want to go to Amherst?</p>
<p>You don't NEED it.
You NEED water and oxygen.</p>
<p>Me, I sent in the card the day I got it.
I'm going to write a letter by the end of the month, send it to them along with my second trimester grades and an award.</p>
