[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have strong connections to Amherst (e.g. Legacy) it's critical your DS applies ED to Amherst.

Best of luck getting in! With a legacy hook or other connection, I'd prioritize Amherst. It's an outstanding place to study those two subjects.

Nearly everyone is an econ major at CMC, so it's a great place too, but with your connections/hooks to Amherst, I'd prioritize that for best chance to get in.

Listen to this, OP. Amherst with connections will be an “easier” admit than CMC. It is that simple. [/quote]
But it’s not true at all. Because Amherst doesn’t factor “connections” into admission. They’re also going hyper dei now that their black population has been decimated.[/quote]

Well they’re going hyper FGLI as a proxy. 25% FGLI, 33% athletes means vanishingly few spots for regular high achieving white and Asian kids. Therefore, OP, the strategic move is to apply early to CMC. Without Ivy level stats, Amherst is probably a waste of an application for the vast majority of applicants.[/quote]
