Rank: doesn't rank, most likely top 3%, maybe top 2%
GPA: 3.9ish UW
SAT: 2060 (720M, 680CR, 660W)
SATII: 710 Bio M, 690 Lit
ACT: 34
Recs: I had two teachers write every single rec EXCEPT the ones picked for Midd - bad decision
Essays: My English teacher reviewd them and told me they were top notch
Thoughts: I'll be honest, no doubt Midd is an excellent school, but it wasn't really one of my top choices. I'm more concerned because Midd is the first of the very highly-selective schools I've heard back from, and it was my first rejection (not really, but basically). I made it in at UF, Grinnell, Carleton, and UChicago, but unfortunately their financial aid packages were not what I was planning on (minus UF, but I don't want to go there). So now I'm waiting for the big Monday for Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, and Bowdoin, and I'm nervous! Gah! Wait-listed at Middlebury and these schools are just as/more picky than Midd. So I'm freakin out! These are my last chances for good fin aid (we know they're great about it) or else I'm UF-bound (ugh). Wish me luck!</p>
