Any Movement on the Wait List?

<p>So far, we know that Williams, Wesleyan, and Pomona have started accepting students from their wait lists.</p>

<p>Anyone hear from Middlebury (or know someone who has)?</p>

<p>The rumor on campus is that Midd overenrolled and some freshmen may receive posh upperclass housing next year. First years in Forest!?! what</p>

<p>You know, I was thinking that might happen. They accepted more students this year than in years past (numbers-wise), supposedly because of the higher quality of this year's applicant pool. The number of academic "fives" (highest rating for an applicant) apparently doubled this year, and I think that Clagett was worried that the college might lose many of these top students to Ivys, etc. This resulted in Midd's acceptance rate being a bit higher than others (Pomona, Williams, Amherst, Bowdoin, Swat), despite a substancial increase in applicants.</p>

<p>I've heard the same rumor that there's not supposed to be enough housing for freshmen next year because the yield was too high...</p>

<p>I was told by the Admissions office that the waitlist would not be used at all this year.</p>

<p>Damn! There goes another one.</p>
