I posted this in the chances forum before I realized there was a Midd forum, so if you have some deja-vu action when you read this that is why.
High school was terrible for me- I basically dropped out (illness, not laziness) (all AP classes, passed, but attendance was so poor that I was refused credit my junior year… health was so bad I just couldn’t go to school) and got my GED 3 years later at the age of 19, started college the next available semester.
I’ll be getting my associate (liberal arts) degree this fall. This (spring) semester is my first in college and I’ve estimated my GPA to be around 3.9 (will know for sure in a few weeks). I’m taking both Japanese and Italian to the intermediate level, might take beginning Arabic on the weekends, if languages matter (I want to get into some sort of language program, preferably Japanese). I took Latin and Greek in high school but not to the extent I would have liked.
I haven’t taken the SAT or ACT, although I plan to. I already have a study plan in place and am not worried about making great scores.
I don’t do any sports, all my ECs are from high school and aren’t very impressive. The only thing I do right now is show livestock, and that doesn’t seem too impressive either. I do want to volunteer (leaning towards Habitat for Humanity) on a regular basis, though.
I’m really interested in Middlebury, but I just don’t know what chance I have. Off the top of my head, it isn’t a good one…
Advice, opinions, and criticisms more than welcome.
