<p>i went to a summer program at the school of the arts institute of chicago this summer for three weeks for a drawing and painting class.</p>

<p>my SATs werent great, but im reataking them this weekend.

literature- 670
math II- 560</p>

<p>if anyone has advice on other schools that i might like id appreciate it, or on my chances. i like how amherst doesnt have required classes outside the major and schools with good art programs (even though i want to be an anthropology major)</p>

<p>Schools that don't require SATs like Bowdoin and Middlebury would be good choices.</p>

<p>Amherst is a mammoth, colassal reach. So is Brown. As for the rest:</p>

<p>Haverford - Reach
Wesleyan - Reach
Sarah lawrence - Match
Hampshire - Match</p>

<p>If you like the Amherst MA area, you might want to take a look at UMass - Amherst. It's a decent state school and you'd have a good chance of getting in. Also, you'd be able to take classes at Amherst, Hampshire, and the other schools nearby.</p>

<p>And, as Suze wrote, you might want to look at schools that don't require SATs.</p>

<p>connecticut colllege doesnt require SATs, and has an active equestrian club</p>

5

<p>A hispanic val could have a shot at all these schools.</p>

6

<p>Bates is also SAT-optional.</p>
