<p>Holy sh it! your scores are pretty awesome as well as your ECs and community service. Obviously, i'm not an admissions counselor but you seem like a very strong candidate.</p>

<p>i don’t know it is hard to know. There are going to plenty of qualified people with high scores. I don’t know if you have the ‘pop’ factor especially applying as an international applicant.</p>

<p>Middlebury is need blind to international students…ergo I do not believe it really cares if you are international or not. Anyways one would be counted as domestic student if he/she applies in U.S. lol. I read this long explanation in the finan aid section when I was reading for FAFSA and found this quite interesting. Apparantly Middlebury has a good amount of international students in its campus in comparison to other LACs. Of course a vermont applicant will be given more favor b/c of the instate status.</p>

<p>Actually Polobear, it is need-aware for international students.
“The College follows a need-blind admission policy for domestic students, which means that a student’s financial status does not influence the admission decision. Middlebury makes every effort to help all candidates obtain the financial aid they need in the form of grants, loans, and work/study jobs. In the case of international students, Middlebury follows a need-aware admissions policy.”</p>
