<p>Washington State
Neither of my parents graduated from college
Rural farming town
Have spent my entire high school "career" at the local community college because my high school has terrible academics, so my GPA and rank include my college classes, but the school doesn't weight so...</p>

<p>HS rank: 8/200 (unweighted)
HS GPA: 3.88 (unweighted)
College GPA: 3.87
College Rank: Doesn't rank but I've been on the Dean's List every quarter since I started taking classes in 8th grade.</p>

<p>Class schedule:
Toughest classes I can take...I'm in the Honors Program at the community college
POSSIBLE PROBLEM: Haven't had and will not have any physics...will this hurt me?</p>

<p>SAT: 2100 CR: 770 M: 670 W:660</p>

<p>SAT IIs: Bio-E = 660, U.S. History = 700, Literature = 780</p>

<p>Good essays (my English teacher suggested I submit one to be published in the college's yearly student writing anthology, so I guess they're pretty good). They describe me well, so that's the most important part.</p>

<p>Really, really great teacher recs (one talks about how I'm in school for the learning, not just the grade, and the other talks about how I'm one of the best students he's met - yay!)
Super counselor recommendation in school report</p>

<p>Extra Currriculars:
20-25 hrs. per week at local performing arts guild performing (I've had several lead roles, chorus roles, I've operated the light-board, sold ad space for the programs, worked as stage crew, and I'm stage managing the children's show this year...I'm also sending a stellar recommendation from my director)
8 hrs. per week Tae Kwon Do (Black Belt and recieved medals at state tournaments...right now I'm taking a break, though)
3 hrs. per week Honor Society vice-president at college
3 hrs. per week International Friendship Club executive committee member
Various volunteer things (approx. 4 hrs. per week) like Junior Achievement, helping out at a pro bono law office, etc. Also helped organize fundraiser for December 2004 Tsunami.</p>

<p>Work:
10-15 hrs. per week Event Coordinating at community college...I'm the chair of the Activities Committee, so I'm sort of the boss of the committee
10-12 hrs. per week Tutoring - I tutor elementary school children</p>

<p>Your record is extremely impressive!</p>

<p>Middlebury will immediately recognize your talent in the humanities, and will appreciate your initiative. </p>

<p>It is very likely that you will be accepted, especially if you apply ED.</p>

<p>Wow, thanks! I hope so. I'm not sure about applying ED because I haven't been able to visit the campus (my family can't afford to fly out there and back) but do you think my chances would still be good applying RD? Thanks! By the way, are you a student there by any chance?</p>

<p>I am not a student at Middlebury, I'm a hs senior. I'm applying ED to Pomona College.</p>

<p>But, I have visited Middlebury's campus. It's definitely one of the most beautiful that I've seen. It's a mixture of recently rennovated old buildings and new ones. Also, mountains surround the campus on all sides. It doesn't get much better.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Oh, it sounds beautiful! I love mountains and couldn't live without them :P. I'm looking at applying to Pomona, too! Good luck with your ED :).</p>
