<p>Hi, I was wondering if my daughter would have a shot at Amherst College. Currently she is third in her class of 250. Her stats are SAT 2170 (V710, M700, W 760). She will be taking them again in a couple of weeks. SAT II scores of Bio (750), Math II 720. AP Bio (5), AP Amer. Hist. (4). She is the Rensselaer Medal Winner from her school (best science student), and also the Harvard Book Award winner; both won in her junior year. She was just named a National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalist, as well. She is currently a Senior taking three more AP courses (English, Stats, Calculus) Her GPA is a 4.1. She wishes to major in biochemistry with a minor in dance. She has danced with our state ballet for ten years, and is quite good. She is applying early decision to Amherst. What do you think? I'd love to hear from someone regarding her chances. Thank you.</p>
<p>Everything looks good, if her ECs are up to par, then shes set</p>
<p>her EC's aren't pages long because of the ten year commitment to ballet. She puts in at least 20-25 hrs. per week on that EC alone. She has tutored in her school, and is a member of the school's literary magazine; but much of her non school time is spent dancing. Will that hurt or help?</p>
