Chances of Getting into Middlebury College?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

I was wondering what my chances are of getting into Middlebury College.

SAT: 1850 (As of last year before my SAT classes)
Rank: 1 out of 356
GPA: 4.0, unweighted
SAT Subject tests: 670 on one and 650 on the other

Activities, etc: I’ve been doing XC for two years (JV). I have done model united nations for 3 years, and I will be president of my school club this year. I started youth and government a year ago, so this year will make it two. I am a member of NHS. I am a graduate from the chamber of commerce youth leadership. I volunteer at the local hospital for two years and I have over 150 hours of community service. I am also a Lieutenant Governor for Key Club, and I do many things such as fundraising for the Eliminate project. I am the founder of the book club at my school. I am a private tutor (free) for the SAT. I am also a LEDA Scholar. I’ve also taken many AP classes, 12 in total. My counselor told me I have the hardest workload possible all four years.

Essays: I will have really strong essays and letters of recommendations.

Background: I am a white male. I am a first generation college student. My mother is a single mother and my father is not in my life. My mom is a cashier, so my family lives on about 25,000 a year. There for awhile, we didn’t have a house, so we had to live with my grandma and some family friends.

So I’d like honest and truthful responses to whether I could get into Middlebury College or not. Please be brutally honest :slight_smile: Thanks!!

@eggystraws - Obviously your rank and GPA are as good as possible, but that SAT score is too low. Everything is GREAT except for that. Middle 50 range is 1920-2230, so you need to raise that. Probably need to be above 2000 to have a realistic chance. Also, if you get in, that school is a full financial need school, so you will pay either nothing or next to nothing to attend. Do all you can to get a much better SAT score. Good luck.

What Stepay said is true. However, one great thing about Middlebury is that they certainly view the entire applicant when determining admissions. I think your unique circumstances would help your application a lot. So try to improve your SAT score, but I would not be shocked if you were admitted even with your current score.
