I think you look like just the kind of student Midd likes. Your SATs are a little low, but not hopeless, and you sound interesting and committed. Plus, Midd always takes some native Vermonters!

Hopefully it works out! I just had a fantastic alumni interview, and I hope that can help my application!

Great stuff - if you’re in VT, make an appointment with someone in the Enviro Sci Dept and go and have a chat - it really does help.

that is a good idea!
