<p>Hello,
I applied to Amherst College, MA in ED. I am an international applicant from India and I loved Amherst College when I toured it. I didn't apply for financial aid. I wanted to know whether ED rates for international students are as high as rates for domestic applicants and whether Amherst is pro Asian? I mean Asians are swarming the admissions offices and does Amherst look favorably on that?</p>
<p>To have an idea of your possible rate of admission as Amherst ED, divide the “domestic” score by two or three.</p>
<p>one more doubt… I am an international field hockey player… but Amherst doesnt play mens field hockey… so will that still be a plus point for me?</p>
<p>it’ll be counted as an EC, and if there’s a club (even if Amherst doesn’t have a varsity team) you may initiate contact to show interest. However, since you can’t be recruited, it’s not the huge help athletes and legacies typically have.</p>
<p>thank you!! :)</p>
