<p>Hello, smileforcma,
congratulations on all your hard work, both in school and in your EC’s. Your resume is very well rounded, indeed.</p>

<p>Amherst is a reach for most students. According to their 2010-2011 Common Data set, their 25/50 percentile scores are 2020-2310, so your scores would put you below that middle 50% block. No harm in applying to a “reach” school, but I imagine you’ve applied to some “target” schools also?</p>

<p>best regards…</p>

<p>Thank you! :slight_smile: I have applied to some target schools and have gotten accepted, so I have my backups indeed. I just want to evaluate my chances of getting into my dream school. :)</p>
