<p>I thought this was an interesting article. This could be one of your future classmates!</p>
<p>Haha, my 11 year old sister swore that Midd was the place for her this summer when we all visited, maybe this could get her hopes up. If i get accepted, that'd be great to have a roomate younger than your siblings.</p>
<p>I never think it's a good idea to go to college anywhere near that young. While they be ready intellectually, they are not going to be ready socially and are not going to get nearly the same well-rounded experience. To the extent that someone does apply six years early, I could see applying to MIT, CalTech, UChicago (hard core academic places), but not places like Middlebury and Brown that more well known for mixing fun with academics.</p>
<p>Midd is known for it's very strenuous academics...</p>
<p>Yeah, but the students also have great and memorable social lives, in which an 11-year-old student would most likely not partake.</p>
<p>If you read the article, you'll see that this kid's passion is environmental studies/activism (global climate change in particular). Middlebury is a leader in this field. That's his primary interest in Midd.</p>
<p>Midd is also a leader in foreign languages and international relations, not just environmental studies.</p>
<p>Seriously, all this kid has done has showed the nation he is a super smart prodigy, he has taken classes at his local university, and was selected as a "very best youth" by a Chocolate brand.</p>
<p>Now, all of that is very impressive, and worth being proud about, but this kid is 11 YEARS OLD. Homeschooled aswell, how could he adjust to the social scene at Midd with a bunch of 18-21 year olds??? And what are his test scores? </p>
<p>I'm not saying the kid shouldn't apply to Midd, I'm saying he shouldn't apply to Midd when he's this young.</p>
