Bsc2215, thanks for all the info and advice. Truthfully, I’m not sure if I have the atheletic stats to get Amherst’s attention. Even though the college is a small D3 school, I don’t have any rankings or extremely significant athetlic accomplishments. I’ve competed in my section’s doubles tournaments, but I have not earned a first or second place title. I suppose I could try to use it as a hook, but I’m not entirely sure how. Should I email the admissions office and coaches?
Also… is there anything that I can do now to possibly increase my chances? I’ve heard some people suggest emailing the admissions office to confirm that Amherst is my top choice. Is this tacky/useless?
Thanks.
