<p>You've got a better chance than I do. I'm jealous. :-) Impressive scores, solid grades, and good ECs. Good luck!</p>

4

<p>: ) thanks. Good luck to you too! I hope we both get in!</p>

<p>You don't really have any weaknesses, so unless you do something outlandish like write about the wrong school in your essay you should be fine. If possible I would recommend interviewing at some point to show interest as it sounds like you really want to go to Midd and that would shine through AKA boost your app and show that you aren't just using Midd as a match/safety for the Ivies.</p>

<p>Hey, I'm attending Midd in the Fall. You have a very good chance and at the VERY least you would be waitlisted, but I doubt it.</p>

<p>What classes are you taking Senior year?</p>

<p>Thanks bigp9998. In no way do I see Midd as a safety or even a match- I am pleasantly surprised by all of this positive feedback, though :). I will definitely interview, and I have already started on my app. Go Panthers!!</p>
