<p>Hi. I just finished sophomore year…</p>

<p>First, here are my grades (I take almost all Honors/AP classes):</p>

<p>GPA (UW): 3.7
GPA (W): 4.5</p>

<p>Test Scores:</p>

<p>Math II SAT II–770
World History SAT II–790
European History AP–4
ACT–32/33 (predicted)</p>

<p>I do photography and play soccer. Also, I am active in a youth group (I have gotten some local leadership awards for it).</p>

<p>So, am I on track?</p>

<p>Also…Is Amherst really intellectual like Columbia/Chicago? Or is it more like Penn and Cornell? </p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>

<p>Your numbers are fine. Therefore, you have to focus on standing out from the crowd.</p>

<p>Columbia isn’t intellectual (i.e., the generalization that all or even most of its students are intellectual is unfounded).
Columbia and Penn are similar schools.</p>

<p>Amherst is like Williams.
A healthy balance of the following descriptions: athletic, intellectual, laid back.</p>
