its doubtful, very doubtful that he can get into middlebury with those scores. i want to go there and im fairly positive im not going to get in and i have decent test scores. 2000 on the SAT and 32 on the ACT. plus high level classes at a good high school. UVM is sick though, and you could get in there if you write a convincing essay and have a good transcript.

If you like to do a good job at whatever it is you're doing, then you have to pick one or the other. It's either skiing or school. If you do both, your skiing will suffer and your grades will suffer. So, pick a college based on its academic program or pick a ski town based on its terrain.

you can do both. htere are still good schools close to mountains and it is not that hard to manage skiing and school. You just need to make smart decisions. I know lots of kids who ski all the time and still do fine in school.

If you got a 1000 on the SATS you are fucking stupid, seriously. You should go back and get your GED, at least that way they will people will think are at most borderline retarded. if you are trying to get into college, i am sorry for you. i would just knock up some ho and pop out a couple mullato kids and make mad money

I am fucking old school, i don't count that writing shit. I only accept the verbal and math, the way it was done back in the day. If you are getting a 3.1 in HS that is pretty sad.
