Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi, I'm a high school junior from Michigan and I want to know whether or not I have any chance of being accepted to either of these schools. I visited both in early April and really liked them both (especially Middlebury). Also, I'm not sure if it means much but if I were to go to Middlebury I could probably run on their Cross Country and Track teams (my coach seems to think I would have a chance at Dartmouth too but I'm not so sure. idk, maybe if I improve a lot next year). </p>

<p>Academics:
4.0 unweighted GPA
4.54 weighted GPA
33 ACT
(Taking SAT Subject Tests in Lit and Math 2 on Saturday)

Future APs: Calc AB, English, German (maybe), Environmental Science, Economics, and World History
I'm also currently in IB English and IB Math although I am not in the IB program.</p>

Volunteered at middle school track meets</p>

<p>Awards:

Track: 2 time All Region, 4 time All League, State Qualifier (3200) (as or Sophomore year)</p>

<p>So... yeah. I also plan on applying to the University of Michigan and a few other in-state schools. As of now I would say Middlebury is my top choice and Michigan is probably second (Dartmouth 3rd). Also, if anyone has any advice with the financial aid at Midd or Dartmouth please let me know (my sister had a bad experience with Dartmouth's financial aid so she decided not to apply). Thanks to anyone who is still reading.... I've never done one of these before so I just sorta tried to do what I've seen on other threads. Anyways, thanks for reading and any advice will be greatly appreciated! :)</p>

<p>Might also look at Holy Cross(near Boston) and Bowdoin.</p>

<p>You’d have a much better shot at Midd than Dartmouth. Since you like it better, apply ED for a boost. If you’re being recruited, the coach will want you to anyway.</p>

<p>Waverly, while I might say that admission is SLIGHTLY (ever so) easier at Midd than Dartmouth, I certainly wouldn’t say someone would have a “much better shot” at Midd than Dartmouth. It’s a crapshoot at any of the schools at this level. Perhaps you meant this because of the recruitment?</p>
