<p>Did anyone else see that applications to Middlebury increased by over 4.5% this year? There were nearly 9,000 applicants.</p>
<p>I can’t remember where I read but I thought they usually receive around 8,000?</p>
<p>As reported by The Choice blog from the New York Times, here are the numbers for Middlebury this year:</p>
<p>2011 Apps - 8,533
2012 Apps - 8,922
Change - +389
% Change - 4.56%</p>

<p>It would be interesting to see geographically where the majority of the increase in applicants are from.</p>
