<p>Hook: Mission work in Rwanda</p>
<p>My interview went pretty well, but I wouldn't call it stellar. Also, I put off my essays to the last minute, so they were a bit rushed and not my best work, but they're not terrible by any means.</p>
<p>So am I looking good, or will I need some luck to get in?</p>
<p>It's hard to say for certain, but Midd isn't so super-selective to be rejecting many applicants with a 1500 SAT (or at least this level is above 80% of enrolled students) so you should be in pretty good shape.</p>
<p>Although 1500 SAT is high for Middlebury,the typical Midd-Kid is much more involved,passionate and outgoing. I will be slightly surprised if you are admitted. Sorry, but your resume makes you appear very boring-which is the opposite of what Middlebury seeks. But,then again,your SATs are outstanding and it may depend on your intended course of study and "why Middlebury". I hope you wanted an honest opinion. Your advantage is that you are a math and physics person which is not commen at Middlebury;which,again,begs the question of "why Middlebury" ?</p>
<p>Commitment seems to be your weakness ... it looks like you picked up most of your ECs once you realized you had to put them on a college application (aka all in 11th and 12th).</p>
<p>That said, your grades and scores are top notch, and if you wrote a passionate essay about working in Rwanda, and made yourself sound like a true leader in the things you excell in, you should still be in good shape. Best of luck.</p>

<p>I think my main problem is that there are a lot of ways I spend my free time which I couldn't get onto my application, however I'm hoping I got this across to my interviewer. I played club sports on weekends, participated in youth group, took music lessons, and I was in a band with my friends. Unfortunately, I wasn't particularly excellent at any of these things, so I didn't have the awards to put on my app. Also, I'm not principally a math/science person, I just didn't take an English SAT II because I have trouble with the SAT style verbal tests; I got a 4 on my English Language AP and a 5 on my US History AP. As for the question of why Middlebury, I think I answered that one for my interviewer in great detail. I love the climate, the state, the skiing, the academics, the Liberal Arts curriculum, and I know some great kids who attend there.</p>
<p>"I would be highly suspicious of someone who listed "mission work in Rwanda" as an EC and didn't write about it as part of their essay. :/"</p>
<p>but i agree with the ec thing. the rwanda thing could be a HUGE hook depending how you used it, but the fact that you joined up in almost all your clubs as an upperclassman makes me wonder as well (let alone the adcom)</p>
