<p>i am a chinese native. and I am gonna apply Midd on ED as an international appliant</p>

<p>since there is no SAT test place in mainland china
the nearest test place is located in HONG KONG
although i once called AO of MIDD and got informed that for chinese stud SAT is not that compulsory. Anyway for anyone without score of sat to apply Midd would be on disadvantage.
thus i am going to take SAT I in Nov in Hong Kong</p>

<p>could anyone tell me How much i should get in SAT I to apply to Midd?</p>

<p>I seriously doubt you'd have to take the SAT for application purposes. There are two english-heavy portions and it'd be unfair to ask a native foreign student to do as well as native english speakers.</p>

<p>Most schools require a certain score on the TOEFL or whatever
Something like that.</p>

<p>Call or email Midd's admissions office with your questions.</p>

<p>no, middlebury requires sat's for international students. you can submit 3 SAT 2s in place of SAT 1, but you need to take some form of SAT. i'd say scoring over 1800 isn't that bad, and scoring over 2000's excellent for an international student.</p>

<p>what would u say is midd's avg SAT II score?</p>

5

<p>i didn't see such a number, but they have their mid-ranges of SAT I in collegeboard's website.</p>

<p>id say u need about 800 math....
maybe 650 reading and writing would be nice too</p>

<p>just get over 600 on the second two and close to 800 on the first part...cuz they expect asaian kids to be math wizzes</p>

<p>From Collegeboard:</p>

<p>Middle 50% of
First-Year Students Percent Who
Submitted Scores
SAT Reasoning Verbal: 630 - 750 78%
SAT Reasoning Math: 650 - 730 78% </p>

<p>Like bobow said, you'd probably need to get a really high score in math (I don't know about expecting Asian kids to be math whizzes) to compensate for what I think would be a presumably lower score in the other two sections (though writing is studiable even though my scores personally depend on my mood).</p>

<p>my score is as following
cr 580
math 710(what a shame to get this score as a chinese kid)
writng 730 essay 12
what r my chance?</p>

<p>you never know. a few years ago, my [chinese-american] brother had a 720M/580CR and was accepted ED.</p>

10

<p>then do they expect caucasians to get near perfect verbal scores? writing? i really dont think them expecting asians to be math whizzes is true...</p>

<p>i guess it also depends on what he/she is interested in. If the person wants to do something like psychology or something, he/she doesnt need to be a math wizz i gues.</p>
