<p>How heavily does applying early decision boost your chances when applying to somewhere like Middlebury?</p>
<p>It is huge- ED acceptance rate is about 40%-recruited athletes up to 80%- and RD is around 17%. Show the love, it really makes a difference.</p>
<p>ObDoc… Any advice for my S who is considering applying ED… Top private prep in CA, 760cr/700m/720W rigorous classes, school does not rank. Hard to tell on Naviance where he stands because very few kids apply. GPA is also hard to tell because he will have 2 transcripts as he went to a school in Vermont 2nd semester Junior year on a rural organic farm that sends A LOT of kids to Midd. Mostly B+'s,with some B’s and A’s mixed in. </p>
