<p>I should add that my high school is “highly competitive” for a public school. Many in the top 5% go to Ivies (or Stanford/MIT) / anyone in the top 10% goes to excellent schools (e.g. Vanderbilt, WashU, etc.).</p>

<p>I think you have a very good shot, which pains me because now I’m realizing lots of kids (in our town too) who didn’t get into Ivies now aim at Midd, Tufts, Emory, etc., which makes the competition even worse. But hey – that’s the world we have. Good luck. You have achieved impressive stats. Midd would be lucky to have you.</p>
