<p>Just so you know SkyGirl, it says on their website that January SAT scores may not reach them in time, and all standardized testing should be completed before the application deadline.</p>
<p>Both. The college process is inherently capricious, and only more so at a school with as many qualified applicants and as few spots as Amherst. Also, stats do give a limited picture. I like to think that admissions decisions are made holistically and contextually: it's hard for any of us to determine someone's candidacy because a). we can't see who else is applying and b). we don't know what specific desires the school has. Most of the chances threads I've read seem not to be of much benefit to the OP or other readers; most people who post their stats appear to be qualified. I have seen an occasional "chances" thread wherein someone posts his/her stats with completely unrealistic expectations.</p>
<p>Agree with foghorn. Contact the coaches if you plan on continuing to compete. This could help in the process. Supposedly, Amherst looks at you as a complete person, not just grades, or SAT, but they say the essay is the most important part. They really want to get to know you! And when Dr. Marx called my D, he referred to her essay, so they do read them carefully. Give your all to that, so that any other perceived or real shortcomings will be superseded by WHO you are. And if there aren't enough kids like you applying, and if you fit a slot they need, well then, you are in. But you can have the best grades and perfect SAT, and not be accepted for reasons that none of us truly, truly understands. So, keep the faith, make sure the essay is terrific, and Good Luck!</p>
