Brutal Honesty Wanted: Give it to me straight

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>First, thanks for clicking on my thread. Now, I'm a junior in high school and I really want to go to Middlebury. I've read on here that in order to even be considered, you need something like a 4.3 GPA, be in the top 10% of your class, be a top athlete, be president of the geniuses club, etc. I can't say I have any of that. I have a 3.7 GPA, I'm more like in the top 30%, I'm nonathletic, and I am neither a genius nor a president. </p>

<p>But I love, LOVE languages! I know you probably hear that a lot, but I really mean that with my whole heart and soul. I take Spanish, Latin, and Chinese at school. I've used my Spanish and Latin to teach myself Italian. I bought a book and started learning Scots Gaelic a few months ago, I volunteer at my school's language lab twice a week, I've read books by Kat</p>

<p>Okay, you asked for it. There are two comma mistakes in your post. Sorry to be brutal but it had to be said. Seriously-apply away, you’re a solid candidate.</p>
