<p>I fear my SAT's may be low, I took them in Oct. and was too late to sign up for the December one. I'm confident i did well on my Essay however my short answer may have been a bit generic. Amherst is my top and NEU is my "dream school." What are my chances? (I applied to 2 other schools as well but I'm more concerned with these two)</p>
