Amherst?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>So Amherst is obviously an incredible school, one of the best liberal arts schools in the country, I wanted to major in Law, Jurisprudence and Social Thought, I heard that Department is great, but I read somewhere that the average GPA ranges from a 3.4 to a 3.7 and the SAT Scores for
Math: 530-640
Reading: 510-620
Writing: 570-660 </p>

<p>I just started my junior year, in NY
My average GPA is 92(3.6 out of 4.0, unweighted), I took Earth Science in 8th grade, did Bio and Chem,
I took honors english and SS in 9th grade, honors english in 10th along with AP World where I finished with a 90 and got a 4 on the AP</p>

<p>Math is going to drag me down, not my strong point so I took Algebra in 9th, Geometry in 10th, and I'm in a remedial form of Trig now</p>

<p>Junior year I'm taking AP Lit, APUSH, and AP Spanish ( I got a 100 on my Spanish III regents last year) </p>

<p>In my sophomore year I was VP and starting this year I am President of our schools Environmental Club</p>

<p>Outside of school for the past two years I have been involved in a youth owned and operated 501C3 organization where I am VP that focuses on doing volunteer work around our village.
I have wanted to go to Bing for a few years and I am pretty sure I will be able to get in, I just would like your opinion</p>

<p>I really liked what I saw from Amherst, until I saw those numbers so 1) Could I get in, and 2) Are Those Numbers Correct. Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Those numbers sound accurate for UMass Amherst. You need to be more careful in your research. While they are both part of the 5 college consortium, and about 10 minutes apart, Amherst is a private LAC and UMass is a large state school.</p>

<p>It is very likely that you would get in at UMass Amherst. Amherst College is a lot more competitive.</p>

<p>Well I wasn’t looking into UMass Amherst, because Amherst is obviously a much better school</p>

5

<p>Those test scores seem off</p>

6

<p>Yea. They are definitely wrong:</p>

<p>SAT critical reading 670-770
SAT math 670-770
SAT writing 680-770</p>

<p>Well thats comforting lol, those scores confused me because those obviously aren’t great. </p>

<p>So now that that’s been clarified, do you think assuming I do well on my SAT’s, that I would have a shot at getting in?</p>
