Amherst rates applicants numerically, and GPA, test scores, etc., place you in a rank, then they evaluate everything else, and look at the whole picture, with essays really being important. One thing won’t keep you out. However, the numbers of applicants has reached record proportions, and there are many wonderful kids just like you for each spot. There are never guarantees.
