My Midd chances?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Middlebury College

<p>Hey everyone.</p>

<p>Middlebury College is my top college choice and number 1 dream school. Middlebury has particularly strong language, international studies, and english programs, all of which are areas in which I have an extremely high interest in, and intend to study in college. I love everything about Middlebury, its location, programs...Even the excellent skiing!</p>

<p>Though my love for Middlebury can speak volumes, my application may not...I have about a 3.3 GPA, but my average of all my grades per semester is about an 87%, with particular strength in spanish, literature, and history. Classes like math and science are what bring my grades down. Below is my unimpressive and concise list of ECs and the like:</p>

<p>-Taken art for (expected) all 4 years of high school
-National Art Honor Society (11 12 planned)
-Teen Art Club (outside of school) (11 12 planned)
-Took a Japanese language class at community college (10)
-President of class (9)
-National Junior Honor Society (9, but was in it from grades 7-9)
-Art of Summer workshop. I worked to produce an exhibition of my own art in a summer art show. Outside of school. (9 10)
-Study abroad in Japan for the summer (11)
-Held a job (11)</p>

<p>As you can see, I'm hoping Middlebury notices my high interest in languages and international studies (due to the Japanese language study and summer abroad) and the commitment to fine arts. </p>

<p>I can write a truly excellent essay, and will most likely recieve pretty good reccommendations from teachers. I'm scheduled to take the SAT in March, and I'm aiming for a score in the 2100-2200 range (a score I will most likely attain.) My school only offers about 4 or 5 AP classes, of which I'm taking 2; AP British Literature and AP Spanish. My school offers no honors courses.</p>

<p>...What do you think my chances are?</p>

<p>i think you've a pretty good chance on getting admitted...</p>

<p>i too love middlebury very much, i so want to get in. But my test scores aren't that good, so i'm kind of worried
i've applied ED2</p>

<p>You really think so?</p>

<p>It's weird, people I've asked all seem to think Midd is a somewhat realistic choice for me, and that I could get in. But I don't see how; my GPA is low, my ECs aren't that impressive...I know my essay will be spectacular, as will reccommendations. I'm hoping they notice how interested I am in international studies...</p>

<p>in my case, i think my test scores will really let me down, but hopin for the best.</p>

<p>btw, where u from?</p>

<p>Yeah, I'm studying really hard to get high test scores. My GPA will be low (3.3, maybe a 3.4) and I'm hoping for above average SAT scores, maybe 2000 to 2100.</p>

<p>I'm from AZ.</p>
