<p>Hi, I am a Junior in a really competitive NY high school, and I am really interested in Cornell and Middlebury. I know it is a long shot, but please rate me. I got an 800 on the world history sat ii (as shown below), and was wondering if I could take the US history subject test, and/or the spanish and english sat iis for Middlebury. Thanks</p>

<p>You show a downward trend which is detrimental to your chances at the two schools. Your scores are also well below average. Aim for similar colleges such as Boston College or UMCP.
Cornell- reach
Middlebury- reach</p>
<p>You need to significantly improve your SAT, and your grades both show a downward trend (as pointed out) and aren’t quite what either of these schools are looking for. Junior year grades are most important, and your UW average of 87 is lackluster. ECs don’t compensate. I’m unfortunately going to have to agree with Bubbles and say that both of these schools are reaches.</p>
<p>Ignore the above who talk about a downward trend. You significantly improved the difficulty of your classes without letting your grades drop much. That will probably be seen in a good light, but still a little low on the whole. Bring up SAT scores or ACT if that floats your boat</p>
<p>thanks scott5526… I really did not think of it as slacking off as much as i saw it as working harder. Middlebury is my dream school, and I know how hard it is to get in, but can someone that will graduate high school taking more than 10 college classes with a B+ (unweighted) average be accepted? as well, if i take the french, spanish, and us sat iis,what grades would I have to get in order for it to be acceptable for middlebury, considering my pre-existing 800 in world history?</p>
<p>It’s possible, but many students take schedules just as demanding and get almost perfect, if not perfect grades. The schools are reaches, but yes, it’s possible. Improve those SAT scores, you should aim for 2200+, with at least 700 in every section. Same for the subject tests. Also, I suggest you take a math/science subject test instead of French or Spanish, since many schools only accept one foreign language test.</p>
<p>what universities then would you say i am fit for?</p>
