<p>Martin I believe I have some right to disagree with you. :P
Mate, did you notice how many people from the 12th grade had a GPA higher than 5.50 during the graduation "party"?
I'd say, in our school it' easy to get a 5, but pretty hard to get a 6. So those GPAs of 4 (= 6 in BG) are really hard-earned victories. Well, not hard-earned for people who do nothing but study...</p>
<p>Well,
I have graduated last year and from my experience around 24 out of 26 ppl in my class had 6's</p>
<p>ok.
i guess it is my mistake.</p>
<p>now that i have really calculated the relation, i'd say the percentage is 50%.</p>
<p>i do not worry as this means that martin is also wrong. the people with 6 were definitely less than 24, i'd say they were around 12. </p>
<p>(i am finally into these typical discussions of CC! yey yey! we can go like that forever, marto.)</p>
<p>Nirmala did u decided upon ur final list of colleges ?</p>
<p>"Middlebury is highly selective, with admissions decisions based on high school records, STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES, recommendations, extracurricular involvement, and student writing..."</p>
<p>Hermione<em>is</em>me u r totally wrong. Although Middl dont put so much emphasis on SAT II it is highly advisable to submit SAT1, and a lower score will hurt u down. Also, having in mind the fact that Middlebury College is among the only 6 US schools which are still need-based (along with Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT and Williams College) and cover ur every expenses, reducing ur family contribution to a plain ticket, the competition for this school is more than horrible. </p>
<p>PS: also in case u have forgotten:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Williams College(MA) </p></li>
<li><p>Amherst College(MA) </p></li>
<li><p>Swarthmore College(PA) </p></li>

<p>and so on and so on</p>
