<p>Did anyone else receive a letter from Middlebury in the email that detailed the admissions process at Middlebury?? It states that over 7800 applicants applied this year!</p>

<p>It's a nice letter, describing how admissions decisions are made and how selective Middlebury has to be. To me, it's a reminder of how competitive Middlebury is, but it's also somewhat alleviating as it states that many applicants are qualified, and that a rejection/deferral/waitlist is not at all statement of "you're not good enough."</p>

<p>Did anyone else get this letter? It says it's addressed to all applicants to the class of 2012...What do you guys think of it?</p>

<p>I got it. Quite honestly, it was almost reassuring to know that just because someone might not be accepted (at least not directly, ie deferral/waitlist), we're not total failures or anything. It's good to know :) Especially if you're waiting on pins and needles like I am...</p>

<p>dude, i feel the same way tackycat. if im rejected from middlebury, i know it's not because im a failure. </p>

<p>gah, the wait is excruciating though..</p>

<p>^the one addressed to the parents of applicants you mean? We got that one in the mail today too.</p>

<p>I got it too... does anyone know if midd sends a big package if you get accepted? or only a letter? I really don't want to get disappointed in a small envelope before I even open it..</p>

<p>Well you know you can check online, but the mailed letter was full size, but slim, containing a slender folder. The regular letter might be different, though.</p>

<p>I got both a letter to me and a letter to my parents. In some ways it was reassuring, but I'm still counting down the days! As of today, we have 35 days left until the decision!</p>
