<p>Hi, I'm new to this site, and was wondering if my daughter would have a shot at Amherst College. Currently she is third in her class of 250. Her stats are SAT 2170 (V710, M700, W 760). She will be taking them again in a couple of weeks. SAT II scores of Bio (750), Math II 720. AP Bio (5), AP Amer. Hist. (4). She is the Rensselaer Medal Winner from her school (best science student), and also the Harvard Book Award winner; both won in her junior year. She was just named a National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalist, as well. She is currently a Senior taking three more AP courses (English, Stats, Calculus) Her GPA is a 4.1. She wishes to major in biochemistry with a minor in dance. She has danced with our state ballet for ten years, and is quite good. She is applying early decision to Amherst. What do you think? I'd love to hear from someone regarding her chances. Thank you.</p>
<p>Sounds good to me. </p>
<p>Of course find some nice Amhersty schools with less selectivity-- to sleep at night.</p>
