<p>Stats:</p>

<p>International Student from Pakistan.
Not applying for aid
SAT I: 2070 - 750 CR, 660 M, 660 W (retook in May, hopefully much better score)
GPA: not calculated at my school but if it were it'd be 3.87 UW
GCSEs: 11 A's
Class Rank: Again not calculated, per se. Was 8/176 in the GCSE results at my school. Definitely top 10% if not Top 5%.
My school sends a great deal of people to Ivies and other top universities each year. This year we had Princeton, Duke, Northwestern, Brown, Middlebury, amongst others. Last year, we had Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Penn, Dartmouth, Cornell, Chicago, Vanderbilt, etc.
Essay: I topped in my school in English Language, and I won the award for best essay writer so I think they'll be reasonably good, hopefully.
Recs: Will be very good, fingers crossed

<p>^ A level results? Or at least the predicted grades?</p>

<p>You should consider HWS(Hobart and William Smith);their debate team won the National Universities Debate Championship this year. Midd’s debate team is not very competitive.</p>

<p>You need to get your scores up for Midd, for HWS you’d get merit aid…</p>

<p>I’m still in my junior year, so haven’t taken my finals yet. Those will be my predicted grades.</p>

<p>thanks, oldbatesiedoc! yeah i know my scores are low, but isn’t middlebury’s median sat 2060?</p>

<p>That include disadvantaged students. To have a good chance, you need to top 700 on all 3. Your ecs are excellent, but not unusual for Midd. The debate team at Bates is also excellent. You should look at that, too.</p>

<p>To be fair, international students do get a little more leeway with the SAT. That being said, I don’t think that the admissions office expects math to be the low score. The leniency is generally given to reading/writing. So, I would definitely recommend you get that math score up. I don’t think you are too far off, but your activities/grades/scores aren’t particularly unique for schools like Midd either.</p>
