Discover Middlebury 2010

<p>Does anyone know when they're going to tell us who gets to go?</p>

<p>The wait is killing me... I check my email a good 8 times a day, hoping every new message is from Midd. :/</p>

<p>I think they got all my app materials, I hope so! I have yet to hear anything</p>

<p>AAAAAH! I KNOW! The webpage said that they hoped to get it out by the end of the month. Maybe on October 1st? That would’ve allowed them a week’s time to look through all the applications. Did you guys sign up yourselves or did Midd send you a DiScOvEr MiDdLeBuRy thingy?</p>

<p>I honestly don’t remember, but I think I received something from the school and then applied online. lol no clue, just wanna know, feels like it has been a long time since I applied!</p>

<p>Yeah, I thought that it said by the end of the month, but it’s kind of the end of the month and I still haven’t gotten anything. :(</p>

<p>It would have given them two week’s time… The apps were due on the 17th, weren’t they?</p>

<p>And my guidance counselor gave me all the information…</p>

<p>I just want to know!! I have been checking my email obsessively for the past week!!</p>

<p>I feel you guys. Do a lot of people apply for it? I don’t know anyone else that has. They did say that they HOPED to get letters out by the end of the month. Not that they WOULD. Hang in there!</p>

<p>I would assume a decent number do, because I’ve heard of people getting rejected in the past. The only thing I know for sure about numbers is that they take around 75ish.</p>

<p>Are they definitely sending letters, then? (For some reason I was under the impression that they would send us an email…)</p>

<p>Probably an email… but we’ll see I guess!</p>

<p>I got accepted! I’m so excited! =D</p>

<p>Did anyone else get the email?</p>

<p>meeeeeeeeee!</p>

<p>I screamed out loud when I saw the email.</p>

<p>I DID!!!</p>

<p>I seriously had tears in my eyes and started jumping up and down.</p>

<p>I’m so excited!!!</p>

<p>I can’t wait (:</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, have any of you attended any other diversity programs at libarts colleges? What was it like?</p>

<p>No, I haven’t… I’m going to do a Discover Wellesley program on October 17-18 (the week before Midd’s) but other than that… Nope. :)</p>

<p>yesss!! see you all there :slight_smile: midd’s going to be my third diversity program. i know kids who have gone to 5…</p>

<p>holy crap, 5? That’s pretty intense…</p>

<p>I applied to two others but I don’t think I’ll get in, as my essays sucked, haha. I’m just so excited for Midd though <3</p>

<p>oh and sciencefrenchie: I’d looove to visit Wellesley. Tell me how it goes :D</p>

<p>Accepted! Midd will be my fourth program, but I don’t know if I’m going actually lol. Missing monday AND tuesday from school? Why such careless scheduling? Plus, I doubt we’ll grasp much of the social scene by visiting at the beginning of the week. Ehhh…</p>

<p>elbeeen–Midd might have done that on purpose ;)</p>

<p>I feel a tad sorry for the person who went to 5… he/she must have missed a boatload of school.</p>

<p>I’m only missing 3 days in a week and a half (a Monday, then the next Monday and Tuesday) and my dad was like, “Do you even go to school?” :p</p>

<p>blarghh–I’ll keep you posted!</p>

<p>And does anyone know if Midd is arranging plane transportation? I feel like I read somewhere that they would, but I haven’t been able to find it again.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Just kidding! I was just sent an email with the answer :)</p>

<p>Really sciencefrenchie ? Oh wow! Well, if they did it on purpose then what will be be doing for three days? All of the students will be studying and worrying about classes instead of being readily available to talk to us about the college. I’m a little turned off by this :/</p>

<p>Elbeeen, I’d say definitely go! I’m sure there are a lot of people who can’t and wish they could. (I was reading something by a poster last year, and apparently only 40% of the applicants got accepted.)</p>

<p>I’m a tad worried about missing just the Monday, since I have to absolutely be there for my j-class, or else chaos will ensue. </p>

<p>But it’s worth it.</p>

<p>I just got my plane email too and haha, I’m gonna be totally zombie-like once I get there-- apparently I have a redeye flight…</p>
