OFFICIAL Amherst College Class of 2014 RD Applicants

<p>Amherst is worth it.</p>

<p>When you put it that way…</p>

<p>They don’t say anything about it. It’s either the SAT and Subject Tests, or the ACT. Le sigh.</p>

<p>For Amherst, they require 2 SAT IIs & the SAT OR the ACT.</p>

<p>The ACT basically exempts you from SAT IIs. What did you get on the ACT compared to the SAT?</p>

<p>ACT: 33
SAT: 1420/2160 (700 CR/720 M/740 W)</p>

<p>But my Subject Tests are very…blah.
Bio: 640
MathII: 680</p>

<p>Your ACT score is much higher than the SAT score. </p>

<p>I’d just send the ACTs.</p>

<p>Gracias =]</p>

<p>But yeah. I still don’t know what to do with my ****ty SAT IIs.
:(</p>

<p>Just send all of them, MM! Or retake in Jan? They accept those scores.</p>

<p>They’re really not as bad as you think. Definitely send USH and Bio, fo course, it’s just the Lit that makes me think.</p>

<p>What do you want to major in again?</p>

<p>I don’t think the Lit’s bad either, considering the curve. It’s the hardest test and all.</p>

<p>Ironically, I want to major in English.</p>

<p>… <em>holds for laughs</em></p>

<p>■■■■■.
It’s so saddd.</p>

<p>Haha high-five so do I.</p>

<p>Just retake Lit then, MM!</p>

<p>DO IT.
Oh snap, we’ll be a quad of English majors! =P</p>

<p>I don’t think Amherst accepts January SATs, though… =&lt;/p>

<p>I. Don’t. Want. To.</p>

<p>& besides, it’s not like it’ll jump a substantial amount. I took all those tests cold.</p>

<p>Now, now. Throwing a tantrum will not help the situation.</p>

<p>Yeah, I don’t think they do either.</p>

<p>Drama, you vant to be English major too? (imagine this said in a Russian accent. :D)</p>

<p>EDIT: Drama, do what? “DO IT!” Retake it?</p>

<p>They do, DC. But you don’t rush-report - you print out a copy of your scores as seen on CB and fax.</p>

<p>Please, as if I’d imagine it any other way! And yesh, English and Bio (either regular biology or Molecular Biology…I haven’t decided just yet). =]</p>

<p>Yes, retake!</p>

<p>Nah. Screw that. I’m DONE with fuhqing collegeboard. No more testing. Ever.</p>

<p>And don’t good essays usually pull candidates through? I have the grades and the essays/recs…just crappy SATs.</p>

<p>Retake, MM - we’ll do it together! I’ll be taking Bio and USH, I’ve already taken Lit. Goddamn Harvard for making me take 3.</p>
