Standardized Test Options?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Middlebury College
1

<p>I'm applying to Middlebury, Regular Decision this December. I understand that they give you three options when it comes to sending in standardized test scores (SAT I or ACT or 3 SAT II of different subjects). I've read on their site and I've heard from a friend of mine who goes there that one should just send all the scores they have (or maybe I've misinterpreted the website). </p>

<p>I've only been able to take the SAT I twice in my circumstances and the school site said they consider that but here are the scores anyways</p>

<p>1st: 660 CR, 600 M, 690 W</p>

<p>2nd: 750 CR, 600 M, 630 W</p>

<p>SAT II: 720 Math I, 760 US History, 780 Physics</p>

<p>I'm not sure what their policy is on AP scores during admissions but just in case they do consider it and someone else here knows I've gotten a 4 in Physics, 5 in Euro, and a 5 in U.S History.</p>

<p>Which scores should I send? Are these scores decent enough to send them all in?</p>

<p>I'm only asking about standardized test scores here, but I do understand colleges like Middlebury look at much much more than that. Hypothetically though, if the college only looked at test scores like this what would you "rate" my chance of getting in percentage wise. If you feel like there is no way you can make a decent judgment without more information I'd be happy to oblige. A few quick facts you probably want to know are I'm second in a class of 120 (I have the smallest class in my small school on Long Island), I have an unweighted of 4.0, weighted of 105.3 (not sure how to convert that to the 4.0 scale). I'm taking every AP my school offers (besides Spanish, I took French in school and there's no AP French here). Among many extracurricular activities a couple notable ones are that I'm an Eagle Scout, an EMT, a Seminary graduate (like many other Mormon students, I finished my fourth theological year last year) and one of those musician-thespian kids that win all sorts of county and state awards, go to festivals, get solo's etc I'm sure your probably sick of hearing those things so often. </p>

<p>Thank you for reading, any help at all would be great.</p>

<p>I would send the SAT II subject test scores. On the other hand, you could send all of them and then the admissions office will probably choose to use those.
On the subject of you getting in, well you are a strong candidate but at a school like Midd it can really go any way :/. I know everyone hates to hear that, but the wait will be awful no matter what. Let me just put it this way: you will probably rise to the top of the pile :)</p>

<p>I would only send your SAT II scores. They look much stronger to me. Good luck!</p>

<p>Just the SAT2-the SAT1s can’t help you, and Midd doesn’t look down upon you in any way for not sending them. Your SAT2s are fab and cover more than 1 subject area, so they support your application well. Nice job.</p>

<p>thank you everyone =) I know there’s scarcely ever a “gauranteed candidate” so hopefully I’ll fill a niche that Middlebury would like me to fill and we’ll just see lol</p>

<p>I think you have a really good chance-better than 50-50. They need some smart, nice, helpful and community service oriented people, and the music stuff is a big plus if you plan to continue.</p>

<p>I forgot to mention, I would send in your AP scores too.</p>

<p>Thanks Oldbatesiedoc!
How do I send my AP’s? (this is probably a silly question)
I’ve been all over the college board website, maybe it’s right in my face and I’m just missing it</p>

<p>Well. there is always asking your school guidance counsellor…</p>

10

<p>to send AP’s you’ve got to call the collegeboard and you need one of your score reports with you (theres like 7 different numbers they need to place the order.) also it costs $8 or something ridiculous just to call them, so make sure you do all your colleges in one go!</p>

<p>thanks rubberducky, my guidance counselor always busy when I’m free, well it’s been that way for the past few weeks I figured it would be more prudent to ask here for time’s sake.</p>
