<p>You’re in at Middlebury and Colby-- especially with legacy at the former. Perhaps try and raise your SAT scores in CR and Math. Have you taken the ACT yet?</p>

<p>I have a friend who got into Amherst with similar statistics (she’s Korean, but I don’t think that played too big of a part), so that’s probably a target.</p>

<p>Conn College, Trinity, Bates, and Tufts are probably also low targets. Good luck!</p>

<p>wow…in at Middlebury?? Every time someone says this I get excited but I’m still so nervous that I won’t get in…even though I’m planning on applying early decision…it’s my dream school! I’m visiting Conn coll and Trinity this month and going back to Colby. Thanks for the input! :slight_smile: Oh and I’m taking ACTs next week.</p>

<p>No problem! The admission numbers at Middlebury and similar schools look intimidating on paper, but you bring a whole lot to the table. Good luck on the ACT!</p>
