The Middlesex Thread

<p>As you can see I am obsessing over this school.</p>

<p>Any comments, Is my 84% enough with a ton of EC's</p>

<p>8th grader taking Geometry, Physical Science, Biology, etc.</p>

<p>TOns of clubs, on two good soccer teams, and can perform magic. Also black belt in karate</p>

<p>By the way I also play guitar and piano</p>

<p>Don’t fret too much now, everything is sent in and you are definitely qualified. Your SSATs are a little low, but don’t worry too too much! My older sis got into Andover, Exeter, and Groton (waitlisted at SPS) with an 86% applying for sophomore year. You have a good chance of getting in, with your ECs and classes.</p>

<p>By the way, it’s funny because I live exactly 3 (driving) minutes away from Middlesex. Sometimes when I go jogging, I reach the school (well the sign, technically) and be like: Ohmigosh that’s Middlesex!! GAAAH!</p>

<p>lol thanks for the support, but i’ve seen the competition out there and I feel like I have a 50 50 chance. It’s like flipping a coin. I’m still like meh everytime someone posts a 95% with amazing EC’s</p>

<p>By the way, is it a bad sign that I haven’t recieved my letter with my username and password for the online decisions? It’s already MAR 2!!!</p>

<p>You should’ve received them by email. I got mine a few days ago, but that might be because I’m an international applicant.</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>westcoast, I assumer you were from California. Where are you from?</p>

<p>Lolipop, where did your sister end up going?</p>

<p>benevolent, that was the intention :wink: I dunno if anyone cares to remember, but last year Aussie13 convinced us he was from Australia when he really came from New York :P</p>

<p>I used to live in Cali, currently I reside in Korea.</p>

<p>My sister went to Andover. :)</p>

<p>Benevolent,
R u planning on boarding? Do u need FA?</p>

<p>I am a day student and need FA</p>

<p>I am a boarder and I don’t need any FA.</p>

<p>You have a better chance than i do then.</p>

<p>EC’s? You prob know mine but if u dont i’ll tell</p>

<p>Sorry if this is bothering u. I just want to know my competition</p>

<p>I got a letter from Middlesex today with login codes and a site to check for a decision letter. =) Who else got it?</p>

<p>Hi, we got the letter today too- did anyone else find the letter kind of depressing? It lists how competitive it is and don’t be upset if you are not accepted. I was kind of discouraged by it honestly… I assume all the letters are exactly the same?</p>

<p>Ours said 950 applications for 110 spots. or roughly 11%. I didn’t know the other letters had the same stats listed as my son’s letter. I simply thought they were sadistically messing with our heads :)</p>

<p>Fortunately, It isn’t our top choice, but I get the feeling the competitive landscape has increased dramatically this year for most schools.</p>

<p>nylecoj007-
You killed me with the “sadistically messing with our heads” line! LOL I felt the same way!
This is one of our top choices- if not the top- so it really hurt!<br>
Between that letter and reading old threads about people with 99% SSATs As and great recs who were denied admission to A/E I am freaking out about now! Good thing son is busy with ECs this week so he won’t sense my anxiety! :)</p>

<p>well SOMEONE has to get one of those 110 spots…best of luck to your son!</p>

<p>You too- to your top choices as well!</p>

<p>to console you a bit, they will accept more than 110 based on what their yield is - so that 11% will definitely be higher</p>
