Because of the generous aid some LAC's provide to internationals I'm also considering applying to some LAC's like Amherst itself. I've a few questions related to these liberal arts colleges-

1- Are requirements for LAC's different than National Universities? I mean do LAC's consider stuff like SAT/SAT2 less importantly than do national universities. And do they consider stuff like essays and extracurriculars more important than GPA and standardied test scores.

2- Are LAC's a good option for students intending to study majors related to sciences?
If yes, which of these college have good science dapartments? ]]> Amherst College achiever-271967 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/amherst-college/812947-requirements-lacs-different.html http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/amherst-college/811225-why-arent-act-sat-scores-collegeboard.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:57:38 GMT so yea.. the mid 25-75% scores are not posted on CB..does anyone know why?

I received a confirmation from the commonapp that my main component of the application and the supplement was sent. However, I haven't received any status/confirmation from Amherst. Is this normal around the early decision rush, or should I contact the college? ]]> Amherst College Strat728-234798 http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/amherst-college/810971-quick-admissions-question.html
