Well, I am also an international applicant, though I haven’t applied to Midd. Your stats are impressive, but your freshman and sophomore years’ GPA is probably going to hurt you. I am someone like you. I have great A’ level results and junior and senior year grades, but above average O’ Level results. And my O’ Level results haunt me all the time. (I am not going to get full scholarship at the premier private university at my country because of that, even though my A’ Level results are much better than their requirement.) But your SAT scores and APs, perhaps, will do well to lift you up.

However, with all said, I believe in your case not requiring financial aid is a “blessing” in this financial downturn. Midd has specifically said that it’s going to cut down on its international student financial aid (new students), and it expects that fewer international students will enroll in the class of 2013. So, I guess, you- with excellent stats and money to fund four years of education- seem the right kinda person for Middlebury.
