<p>Who else is applying early to Middlebury?! I'd be interested to hear where you're all from and why you chose Midd.</p>
<p>I am applying early decision to Middlebury. I’m from New Hampshire, but I’m currently living in Istanbul for my senior year of highschool. I attended the Advanced Studies Program at the St. Paul’s School in Concord, New Hampshire this past summer, and many of the program’s interns were Middlebury students. After visiting, I realized it was the place for me. I have been alpine and nordic ski racing for the past thirteen years, and languages/international relations are my top interests. Middlebury does all of these things quite well. Another huge factor is the location. I love New England, and Vermont is home to some of the best skiing in the North East. Middlebury just seems like a perfect match.</p>
<p>I am! I’m from Oberlin, Ohio (same town as the college of the same name). I’m applying because I love the small size, I love the vibe that it has, I love that they invented quidditch, and I love that their campus is gorgeous to say the least. Like hepdep, it just seemed like a perfect fit.</p>
<p>hep-is Dartmouth a consideration?</p>
<p>So now Dartmouth is so desperate for applicants they have to come over to our site to try and steal them? 
</p>
<p>Hahahaha ;-)</p>
<p>I’m applying ED to Middlebury. I’m from New York, and I looked at a lot of liberal arts colleges in the northeast and Middlebury just stood out to me. Obviously the campus is incredibly beautiful, and I could easily picture myself there. I visited on a really nice day in the summer, which could have influenced my impression, but I’m used to some level of cold and crummy weather and I don’t think that any bad weather could make me like Middlebury less. Why else… hmm, well I’m interested in international politics and economics, and I love the emphasis Middlebury puts on internationalism. I’m also interested in English, which Middlebury is very strong in, and there’s the Bread Loaf School of English.</p>
<p>I am not, but I’m just wondering- there is no writing supplement for Middlebury, correct?</p>
<p>No mandatory writing supplement. They’ve made it optional this year to provide an applicant “the ability to write a short statement that is specific to Middlebury College and the ability to upload a document (a resume, for instance).”</p>
<p>MiddKid86 – where do you get this language you quote about writing “a short statement that is specific to Middlebury” or uploading a resume?</p>
<p>After a lot of thought and a 2nd visit that changed my mind completely (I had a great host), I’m going Middlebury ED. I wish us all luck. It’s going to be a long 7 weeks or so but I’m very excited to be a Panther soon.</p>
<p>Good luck everyone!</p>
<p>Yeah, good luck everyone! I applied ED1 to Midd and it was seriously the best decision of my life. No worries the rest of senior year. :)</p>
