<p>Extracurriculars are a tad weak for Middlebury, but grades and test scores are top notch.</p>

<p>No one can call a school as selective as Middlebury a "match," but I'd say you have a great chance.</p>

3

<p>anyone else?!</p>

<p>(bump)</p>

4

<p>Have you talked to the soccer coach?</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot.</p>

5

<p>Yes, why yes you can!!</p>

6

<p>i applied ED1 <em>crosses fingers</em></p>

7

<p>Ah, you applied early? That's a whole nother ballgame. In that case, I'd be surprised if you were rejected.</p>

<p>BTW, you may want to correct your weighted GPA stat. I'm sure it isn't 0.00, lol..</p>

8

<p>oh... i dont know .. what is weighted and unweighted? all i know is my GPA is 97.6</p>

9

<p>Weighted is factoring in honors and AP classes. It's usually out of 5.0...</p>

10

<p>ohh... well we have no AP or honors classes at my school... so i dunno</p>

<p>In a class of 28 kids, it is not that impressive to be in the top 10% (unless your h.s. is Deep Springs-esque). Your ACT is great but your SAT IIs are nothing special and your ECs are fairly average (no real research or summer programs).
That being said, you still stand a good chance at Middlebury, a chance I would rate as a Slight Reach.</p>

12

<p>i am 1 out of 28</p>

<p>there is not much availible where i live- i do everything availible.</p>

<p>in the summer i play soccer</p>

<p>i really do not expect to get into middlebury, but it is my dream school so i figured i would apply ED and hope for the best- !!!</p>

13

<p>Best of luck to you. I hope you get in!!!</p>

14

<p>thanks because i have not even thought about applyiing to other schools and i do not want to write more essays</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good shot even in the world of unpredictable college admissions. I'd also say you're ECs are not weak like some have said. They are merely competitive, but fairly average ECs. People on here mostly aren't athletes so they see athletics and think of them as a lesser EC than something like reasearsh or expensive academic summer programs. This is not true so I'd pay no attention to anyone who says competive free-style skiing at the jr. olympics is a weak EC.</p>

16

<p>thanks... yea i spend so much time at sports events </p>

<p>i thought the girl scout gold and silver award were pretty good EC's because of the community service hours invlovled</p>
