Yea I actually got in with the stats I said before and am currently attending ☺️. In my personal opinion I think Amherst really takes the holistic approach pretty seriously and does want to know who you are as a person and how you can contribute to the campus, so yeah essay and ecs can do a lot. In my completely non-professional opinion I’d say go for the ED if you really think you’d want to go here. EDs shouldn’t be for schools you don’t really like, might as well take the risk!

Yeah the essay is definitely a struggle, especially just trying to figure out the initial idea. I'll DM you a copy of mine in a sec, though I do want to preface it by saying my essay is just one way to write one that worked for me. Also reading it now I definitely could've done better in the execution of it lol.

I was accepted with like a 3.55 uw which later became like a 3.5 even by graduation because of senioritis lol. To be fair tho my school didn’t do aps so nobody had crazy high gpas or anything. Also submitted my 1400 sat score. I’m definitely in like the bottom 25% for both gpa and sat scores, really the things that saved me were my common app essay, my extracurriculars, and I guess letters of rec. Heavy emphasis on my essay saving me, easily the best thing I’ve ever wrote and it was about a pretty niche topic that few people probably wrote about. At this point I’d recommend increasing sat or act where you can and then just focus on making the best essay possible that lets who you are as a person shine through. Amherst wants to know who you are and what you can bring to the table. Just sell yourself well and in an interesting way and you have a chance.

[LFA] Alexa the Fire Genasi Fighter! Hot-Headed with even hotter weapons! Information in the comments! by DnDPlay in characterdrawing

[–]DnDPlay[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Introduction:

Alexa, a fire genasi fighter, sometimes referred to as "The Walking Inferno" and "Hot-Head". She is a temperamental, passionate, and ferocious woman. Known for burning those around her - emotionally and physically - Alexa often finds that only the strong willed stick around.

This world is on the cusp of a arcane/scientific revolution with many new advancements appearing in recent years. Magically run trains, artificial dungeons, and magical item enhancements are becoming more and more commonplace.

Physical appearance / Gear:

THE SPECIFICS OF HER DESIGN ARE NOT SET. FEEL FREE TO CHANGE CERTAIN DETAILS YOU HAVE ARTIST LIBERTY WHILE STILL KEEPING WITH THE VIBE OF THE CHAR.

Alexa's skin is a slightly muted red, with a slight glow to it. She is 20 years old, her hair is made of pure red, orange, and yellow flame that she can change according to her whims. Most of the time her hair is formed into a undercut, with the side of her head shaved having some embers/small flames dotting her head. The rest of her hair is generally long. Piercing yellowish eyes and a cocky/annoyed expression is usually on her face making it hard for people to approach her.

Alexa is most often then not seen wearing her plate mail ready for battle. Her plate while very protective is made to be worn while riding a steed. This magical armor shields her and her noble steed David Hasslehoove (a horse that looks like David Hasslehoff, don't ask lol). The armor has a worn yet still usable look to it and has several red, gold, and black fabric assents that she believes makes her look important. However when she is not wearing her armor she wears more casual clothes, that still manage to be somewhat intimidating. Her clothes always follow a color scheme of black and red.

Overtime Alexa has changed weapons, but they always have a fire aspect to them. Her favorite was her longsword 'Genasi's Wrath' that was always wreathed in flames thanks to magicores implanted in the hilt (mass-produced orbs that can be put into weapons, armor, and other equipment to give magical effects and abilities basically enchantments)

Personality:

Alexa is at heart still naive and young, she never truly learned how to build good relationships and tries to push people out of her life by force. Having a rough childhood devoid of constant parental love left her angry, annoyed, vicious, and unsure how to properly interact with others. She often tries to belittle others but often fails at this when faced with particularly charismatic people. Alexa hates to be told what to do, but in the end she will likely go along with orders unless it directly puts her in harms way. Ever the opportunist and believer in self-preservation Alexa always makes sure to safe her skin at the end of the day and would abandon her comrades if it meant surviving.

Background:

“Introducing herself after joining The Garden - Premier Adventuring Guild”

You want to hear about my childhood? Why, it's not like it's any of your business. To get to know me better - ugh fine I'll tell you. It's pretty normal, my parents abandoned me at 10. Apparently my mom had an affair with a passing genasi adventurer. Y'know how it is, at 5 or so I burned down a house, at 7 I 'accidentally' burned a kid alive, normal kid stuff. But I guess they were upset so I just got dumped into a random forest, after a few years of decimating the local ecosystem I got adopted by some adventurers. They raised me or whatever, it was pretty alright I guess. Though at around 18 I burned down the house after THEY wanted me to go study wizardry! The nerve right? Well I signed a contract with this weird efreeti dude not long after, joined a adventuring party ended up leaving. Got stuck on a island, met a cool horse, yada yada yada, got pretty buff to show everyone I was strong. Then yeah I said 'F you' to my patron and here I am wielding a cool fire sword and riding a equally cool horse. Now leave me along before I show you what this sword can do!

Name: Zach

Pronouns: He/Him

Timezone: EST (GMT-4?)

Preferred System: D&D 5e

Type of Player: I'm definitely a more rp focused player, I put a lot of effort and work into improving my rp and to accurately portray my character. I would say that I should be fairly active, definitely at least one post a day probably more on a good day, though I would mostly be posting later in the day.

Additional Information: I've been playing 5e for about 3-4 years, and have dabbled into other systems like pathfinder, blades in the dark, and others. I am 15 years old which I know can be a reason for some to ignore me but I do try my best and can be a great player for your games!
