<p>This is not a chances thread because I know I have “no chance”. But I visited Amherst this summer and it was amazing, I loved everything about it. </p>

<p>My SAT superscores to a 2200 with a 770 Math II and will be submitting November Lit and Physics. </p>

<p>I’d say I’ve got a pretty cool profile and good ECs, but nothing outstanding. Nothing that would make you guys think a lowly 3.6 GPA can get in.</p>

<p>I’m wasting your time with this thread because I loved the school and you know maybe I’m that 2% that gets accepted when he’s not in the top 10% (which, in my class, is 3 people that joined for the IB years and thus have only a weighted GPA). </p>

<p>Maybe it’s a waste of my time and my money but as Robert Browning said, “Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp. Or what’s a heaven for?”. So don’t bother chancing me :)</p>

<p>Apply if you would like to go. Right now all you can do to change your odds is write good essays, so make sure those are perfect.</p>

<p>You sound like me. Good luck! I hope we both get in :)</p>
