<p>World Girl,
You are a very very strong contender, for Midd. And you will be a great asset to any class.
Your academics are brilliant and SAT score are around the average. You have done exceptionally well in EC in last few years. I will be surprised you are moved to RD. Please let us know whether you are applying for ED I or ED II.
Also, your essay and supplements, if any, would really put you above all If you want me to evaluate your essay, please send it across (PM) I would be glad to comment.
Midd likes IB and 5.8 avg is amazing.
Keep it up.
All the best

<p>Contrary to balgucan’s assessment, I think your chances are not as rosy as he/she predicts. Your SAT scores are well below the averages for Middlebury. I do wish you the best of luck!</p>
<p>I’m with Arcadia-who is Balgucan, anyway? I hope you can get in, because you do sound stellar with your IB course, but those SATs will cause some hesitation. Hopefully your recs and essay reflect/augment your excellent grades. Good luck!</p>
<p>I am not an expert on admission. I apologize, if I have created a false sense of hope in Worldgirl. My impression with a school like Midd, or in most cases any LAC, is that they look equally at all aspect of an applicant, (academics, standardized test and the personality) and give more weightage to who the applicant is and what is the developing potential. My reading on Midd and LACs suggest that the life experiences of world-girl would be interesting for the admission committee to consider. I stay positive about her chance, from what I know

<p>hmm… I’m a fellow 2015er and don’t really know diddly squat… BUT, I’m at an international school in the states… born and raised in the city its located… haha, but internationals in the IB generally do poorly on the SATs… By kids in the IB I mean kids that have been in an IB-prepatory course since middle school or elementary school. The IB makes you think differently and while there are DEFINITELY straight 7 students with 2360s (who never study for anything) one of my friends from Hong Kong got into Stanford with a 1980 <em>and 7s in every class and on every IB examination.</em> It’s a mixed bag. While we resist being defined by numbers, that’s often how our worth is determined. Unfortunately, I think your SATs might be below 25th percentile… if you were within range, they wouldn’t be a deal breaker, but they’re definitely not on par with 6, 7 performance. Not really the case in China or India, but there are also very few KAPLAN centers and SAT prep books abroad, and a lot of kids’ scores are given a leg up by test prep. I know a lot of kids who are 500 points up from their first diagnostic. Are you a U.S. citizen? If you’ve got some funky citizenship that might help you get in. (I ALMOST GOT TONGAN A FEW YEARS AGO! O’! THE SCHOOLS I COULD GET INTO!) I think you definitely have development potential though. Although I know some internationals who have learned very little from their experiences around the world, mostly due to the immunity wealth affords them, there are a lot who are… dare I say more mature than the “average American teenager.” OKAY! Sorry about the novel.</p>
<p>Depends how you portray yourself (/sell yourself) and what that means in terms of what you can bring to the campus.</p>
<p>deferred
does Middlebury reject or just defer?</p>
<p>They reject, too. You’ve still got a shot, good luck!</p>
