<p>my questions…

  1. i do not know if i should submit my sat score…
    i heard that not submitting sat scores can hurt my chance…is that true?
  2. am i allowed to report my ap scores for admission purpose?
  3. can choice of my intended major affect my chance?</p>

<p>I really want to know my chance because I haven’t written my essay for amherst yet
and I don’t think its worth writing it if my chance is very low .</p>

<p>I appreciate any kind of advice/tip. Thank you!</p>

hurt my chance… is this even true?</p>

<p>Amherst will look at either. Submit ACT. Math isn’t overpopular, so you should have a good chance. Just make sure your essay represents you and who you are, and it is well-written. Nothing is sure about elite admissions, but you have a good chance if your essay is wonderful. Good luck!</p>
