I AM GONNA HAVE SAT I this nov.
am i gonna get full scholarship or grant?
where r my chances?</p>

<p>btw,i am a chinese mainland student</p>

<p>Amherst doesn't give scholarships based on merit, only demonstrated financial need.</p>

<p>Coming from China will give you a slight advantage. Your EC's look strong, see what you get on the SAT, keep on working hard, and you have as good a chance as anyone... ~18% isn't the best odds, but definitely go for it, and good luck</p>

<p>thx for ur encouragement
i will try to do my best</p>
