Amherst provided an incredible environment for learning of all kinds: intellectual, social, emotional, artistic… Professors are incredibly dedicated to teaching, and form close relationships with students. I focused heavily on sciences, and were I to do it over, would take more advantage of the liberal arts offerings. If Amherst is your target school, I suggest that you aim to excel academically and personally, and that you engage significantly in activities that demonstrate a "social conscience". Amherst is a school that heavily weighs the importance of social action and efforts to improve the community and world. If you show similar goals through your actions, they will want you as part of their community.
