<p>also, my recs are bomb. My English teacher gave me the highest marks possible AND she went to Middlebury…heh…that probably doesn’t help that much, but ah well.</p>

<p>anyone? bueller?</p>

4

<p>Where did you apply ED to?</p>

5

<p>You look great, I think you have an excellent chance.</p>

6

<p>cool! would it be a good idea to apply ED II? or should I stick with regular?</p>

7

<p>Is Middlebury absolutely your number one choice? If yes, then apply ED II but if you have another “dream” school or a school that you equally want to go to, then apply regular in case you later figure that you really really want to go to that other school instead.</p>

8

<p>Yes. It is. But how much of a real advantage do you get by applying ED anyway?</p>

9

<p>Well if it’s absolutely your number one choice, then why care about advantages? Just apply ED II; just think of it as showing interest and just finding out results earlier.</p>

<p>I don’t think the EDII admit rate is that much higher than RD, but I can’t speak to the differences in the quality of the applicant pool. I think less than 50 were admitted EDII last year, but I can’t remember how many applied.</p>

<p>I think the point is getting it over with, if possible, so one can stop obsessing on this topic, and get to new one-like shoes, or the health care system…For us, with #1 son not finding out his college til May, it was a desperate desire not to repeat that experience…With Parl’s scores etc, if she really likes Midd, I’d be tempted.</p>
