<p>You have very good ECs and a nice range of SAT IIs. Your GPA should be fine, but it is a bit on the low side. However, I recommend you retake your SAT for a higher score because this would help a lot!
It’s good you are an African American female with immigrant parents - good essay material! Good luck!</p>

<p>I concur. Good SATs and ECs. You will have a great shot at Amherst.</p>
