Why you chose Amherst: Ned is amazing. And Austin, his dog. I really like purple schools, and also studying really hard. Just kidding. Amherst is awesome though. People here are very accepting, cool, and really like my style. I also love the liberal arts dancing scene at parties. I’m great at doing dances like swing, tango, and booty booty grinding. Amherst is seriously the best place for me. Freshman year was the most fun year of my life. Sophomore year is currently giving it significant competition though. I would give my first-born child to go to Amherst College. One day you will all forget about what you got on the SATs, what your high school track PRs were, and what you wrote your admissions essays about. You will not forget the years of your life you spent with Eric Holaday, and a few other key individuals on this wonderful team. I love all of them. This team is seriously the most fun and meaningful thing that has ever happened in my life. COME TO AMHERST. IT IS THE BEST.
