Where do I need to be to get into Amherst College?

I’d say you definitely need to strengthen your GPA a bit as well as try and raise your ACT to make up for your low GPA. Amherst’s 50% range is 31-34 meaning you’re outside that, so if you want to have a shot you need stellar extracurriculars. Right now I’d say it’s a high reach, but you never know.
Chance me back?
