<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I don't have many volunteer hours, but that is due to my devotion to wrestling--in addition to the season in which I am either practicing 2 hours every day during the week, at a dual, or at an all day tournament every day, I also attend a wrestling school in the fall and lift during the spring and summer. This summer I also volunteered for 6 weeks in Paraguay--best experience of my life!! Anyways, here are my stats. I recently retook the ACT and am expecting at least a 32, if not a 33--I will update when I get the score.My schedule is also most rigorous, with 4 APs and 2 honors classes this year. If you need any further information, don't hesitate to ask!</p>

<p>If you got a 32 or 33 it would really help because ACT 31 and 1380 SAT is a little low although possible. Top 5% of you class will certainly help. Have you taken SAT II’s? If those scores are higher you could use them as an alternative. Good luck!</p>

<p>Don’t submit your SATs. Your ACT is OK. It’s too bad they don’t have wrestling at Midd, because planning on participating in athletics would help you. Being from the midwest will help some.
I think it’s a possibility, but all these small LACs are hard to predict, so best have a back-up plan.</p>
