Alum Mom, good essay, interviewed on campus, didn’t submit SATs, 6th in my class, unsure of my weighted grade average because my school doesn’t tell us, unweighted is 96.2 last time I checked. Couple good recs.
My DD who was rejected has a sibling alum - brother graduated in 2017! Her stats were better than his, but she is female and he was the better swimmer. And I hear this year was unbelievably competitive.

Flat out rejected! They said they saw me going to Bowdoin but there was no space? :((
@JulianMarsh I believe it was just over 9,000 applicants, which was a 25% increase from last year
I just want to say to future applicants who may be freaking out about the financial aid thing that applicants were talking about earlier that I got accepted and my FAFSA was not showing a new date. Don’t overanalyze things! Also numbers are NOT everything!!! I got in with a 1420 that I chose to submit.
Congrats to everyone! After 2 rejections and 2 waitlists this week, I’m REALLY hoping Middlebury pulls through! I never say this, but I feel really hopeful about Midd!
I just hope I end up at a great school!
