<p>I'd imagine that the comments on the Williams board would apply equally well for Amherst. </p>

<p>Except for posters who are clearly WAY below the mark, it is so hard to predict how an admissions committee is going to view any particular applicant....</p>

<p>Nothing in particular stands out, but all the stats are within the range. It's hard to predict, but you have a chance. Is this for RD?</p>

<p>Again, agree with the other posters. There is no predicitng elite college admissions. Your job is to make yourself stand out from the crowd of very qualified applicants. At Amherst, that means essays. Make sure they are the best! Good luck!</p>
