Colleges and Universities A-Z Middlebury College

<p>I'm a sophomore in high school atm, but I'm really looking at Middlebury as my first/second choice for colleges.</p>

<p>I'll probably end up applying regular decision after I receive my denial letter from Columbia :o</p>

<p>Possible Majors: Biology (maybe premed) + Linguistics (or maybe a language)</p>

<p>SAT Scores: Screwed up on the SAT in november (didn't prep at all or anything), but I'm going to get prep for the March one. I got a 2090 (670, 750, 670) (my essay was reallllly bad too lolol). I'm expecting about a 2200 or maybe mid 2200 for my Junior year SATs</p>

<p>GPA: idunno.. I have all As and A+s but an A- in Physical Education and a B+ in public speaking. I take all honors classes though.</p>

<p>School: Random independent school</p>

<p>ECs: A bunch of music things (some of them are good, like an orchestra performance at lincoln center). </p>

<p>Other stuff: I self-study Finnish + Swedish + Japanese (up to like B2), and I take French + Latin at school. I plan on taking German over the summer at the Middlebury summer program next year. I also speak Chinese :o and I love anything about languages :P</p>

<p>Would I possibly get in?</p>

<p>I’m just an incoming freshman at Midd, but I think that your involvement and interest in languages will serve you well. Middlebury is an excellent school for language studies–one of the best in the nation–so, I would definitely emphasize my background in languages if that were something I was planning to study in college. </p>

<p>Just wondering, but it’s hard to think of two more radically different settings. Both are great schools and offer comparable educations and opportunities, but one is a big research university right in the dense middle of the country’s most populous city and the other is a small liberal arts college out in the mountains of a small rural state. Why would someone have these two as their top two choices for school? </p>
