<p>If I were a midd kid,
Daidle deedle daidle
Daidle daidle deedle daidle dum</p>

<p>Pretty likely that you will be able to biddy-biddy-bum</p>

4

<p>I agree that you have a great chance.</p>

5

<p>Probably, yeah.</p>

6

<p>Definitely in.</p>

<p>Honestly, I would say that you have a pretty decent shot at getting in on academics alone. The college in high school is especially good. For extracurriculars, I would try to choose one or more main areas to focus on-for example, if you want to go into ir, find a way to combine french club, constitution team, exchange trip, newspaper, etc. so that you are presenting a more nuanced picture of yourself to the admission officers.</p>

<p>Well, I really want to appeal to the admissions officers that I love languages, but I don't really know how I would put down "self-studied German, Russian, and Chinese" for an extracurricular.</p>
