<p>Interesting. Gereral question for all : How can you compare achievements and class rank at a school that is so small with the rest of the world. This must be tough for admissions folks.</p>
<p>As old Baties says everybody applying to schools of this level have “prestigious” awards then they find out there is another level…</p>
<p>Example: 3rd varsity tennis at a school of 180 kids? Not impressive.</p>
<p>As they say: “You are not in Kansas anymore”. </p>
<p>“Prestigious” is winning national or international competitions, setting state records, being the top in your state in something or being a published author, etc. not being playing 3rd tennis.</p>
<p>I have one kid like you who did not get in to Midd (only with much higher SATs)… and one who did - the one who did had one of the above “outlier qualities” going for her that made her unique and therfore sought after by many schools. </p>
<p>You sound like an awesome kid from a wonderful family and I suspect you will have a great life. But unless I missed something I think Midd will be a reach for you.</p>
