<p>I’m a white female from New York. I moved from Houston, TX when I was 13 if it matters. I go to a high-ranking public HS. They don’t rank students, but my counselor’s guess is that I’m in the top 7%.</p>

<p>I’ve pretty much taken the most rigorous courses offered (a lot of honors, 6 APs total assuming I don’t drop any next year). Thus far, I’ve gotten one B in high school (88 in Physics).</p>

<p>I want to major in either linguistics or int’l relations.</p>

<p>just so you know, there is no actual linguistics major at midd. students who opt to study linguistics are forced to have self-designed majors. there are a few linguistics courses offered, which i think in combination with a language or so makes a “linguistics major” at midd, but i’m really not sure. for those who aren’t motivated enough to think our their own course of study, midd isn’t the best place for linguistics – at least for now. people seem to like to think that this might change in the next few years, but who knows.</p>

<p>I think your chances are excellent, especially if your essays are good and you have good recommendations. If you really like Middlebury, then I’d recommend applying early decision.</p>

<p>thanks for the help.</p>

<p>and isn’t middlebury famous for its foreign language departments? keeping in mind that foreign language and linguistics are not the same, i still find it baffling that they don’t have a linguistic major.</p>

<p>It’s kind of funny… I’ve heard that the self-designed Linguistics major is more popular than some of the existing majors.</p>
