Amherst Supplement Essays

Along with Williams College, Amherst was once again ranked as the nation's top liberal arts college in U.S. News and World Report's 2009 college survey.  Nestled in western Massachusetts, Amherst has a reputation both as a beacon of academic excellence and as an especially well regarded feeder school for medical, law, and business programs.  As you might imagine, the competition is stiff; most applicants boast excellent GPAs and top SAT scores, but less than 18% are accepted.

Amherst's 2009-10 application supplement weighs in at a mind-blowing twenty-five pages and requires all applicants to submit a 250-500 word personal statement to go along with the one they wrote for the Common App.  In lieu of formal prompts, Amherst supplies five quotes, several of them inspired by or relating to Amherst events, and encourages students to respond originally and personally.  Amherst underscores the importance of the supplemental essay by reminding students that at a school where interviews are not an option essays "provide you with an opportunity to speak to us".  If this sounds a little daunting, don't panic just yet.  We're here to help.
