<p>/\ SUMMARY /_________________________________________________________________</p>

<p>\/ DETAILS \/</p>

<p>Stats:
GPA: 3.8ish UW (W= not much more because most of my classes aren’t weighted until I pass my IB exams at the end of senior year)
SAT: 1400/2050 (670V, 730M, 650W)
SAT IIs: 670 Math 1, 660 Literature (plus some more lower scores)
Rank: School doesn’t rank
Course Load: Close to hardest possible -> IB Diploma Candidate in IB-only school
School: Very diverse; moderately competitive… I think -> about 18% of my senior class is an IB Diploma Candidate</p>

<p>ECs:
Soccer: Very dedicated, play year round; all 4 years on high level club team, varsity soccer at school. Soccer severely impacted during freshman and junior years due to serious injuries, but remained active in teams.
Coach: Volunteer head coach of youth soccer team for past 2 spring seasons.
YMCA Leaders Cub: Member for 5+ years. We organize events for children in our community, as well as fundraise so that underprivileged children can get scholarships to YMCA camps.
Work: Have worked at 2 full service hotels. Full time during summer of junior and senior years, and part time during school year of senior year.</p>

<p>Subjective:
Essays: I think they are solid… main one is about learning to live with guilt, why brown is about why I want to go to a liberal arts college for business (obviously COE, but more uniquely how the natural educational and social environments at Brown foster an entrepreneurial spirit).
Recs: Read one teacher rec which was excellent (about my growth over 3 years in her classes and recovering from hardships in my personal life); didn’t read 2nd teacher rec but I think it’ll be good as well (wrote about my “remarkable integrity” as demonstrated through actions he witnessed). Counselor rec should be good (… I hope). One supplemental rec from a regional head at my international hotel brand that I have worked under for 2 years (should be very good).</p>

<p>thank you all for your insight and Merry Christmas!</p>

<p>Under essay you wrote Brown, I hope you meant Middlebury or you're in the wrong thread and even worse I hope you didn't write the wrong college in any essays you already sent out. Double check names- Good Luck.</p>

3

<p>AHH! so SORRY. disregard the part where i mention Brown, I forgot to edit it out when i copied my stats in... sorry!</p>

4

<p>i think you have pretty high chances, midd doesn't care a lot about sat scores, you have a challenging academic program, your ECs are nice as well. if you really think that your essays are great, then you're all set. good luck =)</p>

5

<p>appreciate the encouraging words!</p>

6

<p>Your stats are a bit on the low side for Midd.</p>

7

<p>What is 3.8 equivalent to in your school?</p>

8

<p>Midd has a supplemental essay...what did u write about?</p>

9

<p>I saw you were doing IB - too bad the results come out so late. Are you doing any APs? I'm thinking that some strong AP scores could improve your app on the testing side. SATs seem a little low for Midd, which is too bad since your IBs might be very good.</p>

10

<p>Unfortunately my school only offers IB, no Ap, so I wont have any results until the spring.</p>

<p>For the supplement I followed the prompt, describing where I came from. I structured it as if I was a tour guide of sorts "leading the reader through my town" and pointing out the unique aspects that have shaped me.</p>

<p>3.8 in my school is a 3.8/4.0 I just dont know the exact gpa i will have after my first semester grades are factored in.</p>

<p>Thanks for the great responce!</p>
