<p>I realize this is the place to put this…</p>
<p>what is the chance of a 2 getting in - but with legacy</p>
<p>i have a 1480, 3.98(unweighted), 4.83(weighted), i am 18 out of 722 - which puts me in the top 3%</p>
<p>my sat2s: 800 world history, 800 biology, 800 math2, 790 US History</p>
<p>any input????</p>
<p>I'm not so familiar with the number system, but I imagine 1 is the highest. Your grades and scores look pretty good, and legacy will help a little (although it would have helped more if you did ED). It's hard to predict RD at Amherst, but you have a shot. Is the 1480 out of 1600?</p>
<p>yeah</p>
<p>i ahve an 800 in writting so i have a 2280</p>
<p>I was referring to a link let me see if i can find it</p>
<p>here it is </p>
<p>did anyone check the link?</p>
<p>I think a 2 legacy (meaning parent) is likely to get in, but it would have been much more of a sure thing ED.</p>
<p>you would have a chance to get in even without legacy. some schools only count legacy if a.) the applicant is ED, b.) the parent donates serious money for a RD app. You look like a good student otherwise though, so of course you have a chance, and if you have good Extra Curr's and amherst values that legacy, i'd give you a very good chance of getting in.</p>
<p>And notwithstanding the legacy status, make sure those essays are stellar! No interviews, so they find out who you are from them. Good luck!</p>
<p>its too late to change the essay....</p>
<p>I hope you get in, you seem really qualified.</p>
<p>I took a look at that 1-7 chart thingy.</p>
<p>My SAT score (1530/2330) is in the 1 range, but my GPA/rank is in the 2 range (top 3.5%)... So what category would Amherst put me in? Would they say like, low 1/high 2?
And based on solely academics, does anyone know about what percentage of 1s/2s are accepted?</p>
<p>Just curious, if anyone can help.</p>
<p>I think that at least you would be placed in a pile to look at again. And then there are those dreaded essays....</p>
