Hi all, I’d love to get into Middlebury (partly because of the location in Vermont!). I’m an international student, but I’m not doing any AP courses. However, I am looking into it for 12th grade.

I haven’t actually taken the SAT yet, but I’ve taken several practices and let’s just pretend I have taken the SAT :)

SAT I
710 CR
700 Math
720 Writing

I know I don’t have the best scores presented there, but I’m hoping with a little bit of study I can up those scores.

SAT II
~760 Literature
I know they don’t take SAT IIs into account at Middlebury if you do SAT I but I’d like to throw that in there anyway.

Extra-curriculars and other
Skipped two years of school - would be starting college a few months before 17th birthday… is this a factor? Obviously I can wait until 18, but might be a plus.

Two-time Model United Nations regional finalist
Two-time regional winner (1st place for grade level) Chinese language speaking competition
Two-time volunteer for political party at polling booth (handing out election info, etc.)
Yearly volunteer for Salvation Army donation collection
US$3,000 / year scholarship to one of top eight schools in region
Top 2% of 11th grade students in region by academic record
‘Highly Commended’ prize for national essay competition run by foreign government’s embassy in my country
Perfect score in national maths assessment competition

So, how do you think I’ll fare? I’d love to improve my SAT practice test results before I take it in May/June.
