[<em>] Perceived Strengths/Weaknesses: S: good essays, good SATs/GPA, and I do a bunch of weird crazy things. I think I'm somewhat unique, and a good fit for Midd. W: SATIIs, perhaps? The fact that I'm a white girl from the rich part of CA?
[</em>] Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied: I think I presented myself fairly well as a good candidate, not just for schools in general, but for Middlebury.
[/ul]Other Factors: I have good ECs. Yay. General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc: Congrats to everyone else accepted; to those denied/waitlisted - it's not the end of the world. The very very very worst thing that happens is you take a year off and go live your life before coming back to school. Is that really so bad?</p>
