<p>So first off, could i get into Midbury as a junior transfer student? Should I explain my high school situation with the admissions people (not as an excuse but more an explanation) and anyone with info about transfer students at Midbury that can share would be appreciated! Thanks</p>
<p>First of all, I’m a high school student so I don’t know much about this. However when I visited I was reading all the pamphlets they give you and I was amazed that middlebury hasn’t accepted ANY transfers for like three years. Also, it is very competitive, although your EC’s are really good, your grades are probably below their standards. I would say apply anyways because you can’t lose anything!!
Oh, and I would explain your situation in high school
Hope I was of some help.</p>
<p>rubberduckylover - while its true that Middlebury didn’t accept any transfers for Fall 2010, I know there were some students who transferred for either Fall or Spring of this year (not sure which), since I’ve met a couple of them! </p>
<p>Regardless, it is going to be really hard to get in to Middlebury as a transfer student (the transfer acceptance rate, i believe, is lower than the freshman admit rate, which is in the lower 20% range). It can’t hurt to try, but if you’re set on transferring to a LAC I would definitely apply to more than one.</p>
<p>Midd has taken a couple of transfers in recent years, but every one I’ve met has been a serious athlete. Honestly, I think it’s a real long shot. Definitely look into other LACs that are a little more transfer friendly :-)</p>
