[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is legacy at Amherst so why is s/he asking us unhooked folks for info.

Apply ED to your alum school where your kid is hooked (Amherst) and if you don't get in apply RD to your non-hooked school (CMC).

Easy peasy.[/quote]
Sounds ridiculous. OP basically wants to constrict her son from going to a college he would fit in with and would definitely have elite resources all to go to her alma mater because...it's hers? Like there's not really a reason her child would want to go to Amherst.[/quote]

huh? Amherst is being suggested because OP's kid has legacy so it would be easier for OP's son to get in. getting into either is next to impossible because they are such small schools (for example, CMC has only 325 freshmen which is tiny!). not sure size of Amherst freshmen).
both are great schools ofc. just people trying to help OP by steering her to the one where she has a hook. hooks trump everything when you're talking about highly selective and tiny SLACs.

Because CMC is in a consortium the size of 8,000 students...[/quote]
