3) Tutoring (1 year +) tutored elementary school children and college students alike, helped raise grades in both categories.
4) Community Service (volunteered to be a chaperone on field trips). I'm joining a community service group at my school next year, so I'll probably have more to add here.</p>

<p>pretty good chance for amherst.. id think. my friend goes there, and even though he was very intelligent he didnt have the best grades. Better SAT scores wouldnt hurt, and keep up the good gpa. Why do you even want to graduate early, it'll be so boring not being able to party. hah but its amherst so it wouldnt even matter.</p>
