<p>Just wanted to create a thread for prospective students that applied both ED and RD.
Any questions, comments, anything future MiddKids want to share can be posted here!</p>
<p>this whole Middlebury section seems sort of dead this year…and I know it’s too much to hope for that nobody else applied ED 
where is everyone? what are your thoughts?
any other international students here who applied ED??</p>
<p>I think there must be a lot of applicants who are just reading along with the posts and not signing in to post themselves…if this is the case, come on guys!! ;D I applied ED by the way, not international. From Vermont, actually 
18 more days seems like an eternity…</p>
<p>I’m not international but I did apply ED.
The days are going by super slow. And after I get my acceptance (fingers crossed) senoritis will set in :(</p>
<p>I am in love with Midd.
I’m from Chicago, 18. </p>
<p>what’s the deal with you guys?</p>
<p>COME ON PEOPLE!!! let’s get this thread a little more exciting.</p>
<p>i just got some stats about ED applications to Midd this year and surprisingly it’s dropped by 8% compared to the number of ED applications last year. So basically its not as “hard” as it was last year to get into midd. but still its hard without doubt:). Good luck.</p>
<p>Dufour - where did you find these stats?! I’d like to see! That’s quite encouraging.</p>
<p>A sigh of relief?
I wonder why it dropped, it’s such an amazing school.
Good Luck to you as well.</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s really odd…8 percent is kind of a lot! It won’t make me feel any better if I’m rejected though… 
I agree…the next 18 days are going to drag on…</p>
<p>when are you suppose to get a decision by?</p>
<p>we will get the decision on 17th of December 8:00 am EST online. Last year decision was out in 11th of December.</p>
<p>I also applied ED1. Note that the 8% drop in apps is only about 50 apps or so, so it’s not a huge difference. also it doesn’t mean that it will be easier to get into. sure- there will be a little less competition, but they may still only accept a certain percentage out of those that applied ed1</p>
<p>Okay, I just wanted to make sure I had the correct date.</p>
<p>where is everyone from?</p>
<p>Gracieboo and aktaylor1-I’m not applying to midd since I’m already a college student now. i got the stats from one of my friends blog which posts the number of applicants applying ED not just to midd but some other LAC as well.In fact Pomona C has a considerable increase in ED applicants this year(perhaps because it ranks higher than midd a bit this year and also that Harvard reopens its Early admission policy). its still hard to get into midd…good luck! hope u all can get in.</p>
<p>Dufour, thanks for the stats!
I wish you well in your college endeavors.</p>
<p>The early admissions data is from the NYTimes. Here’s a link:</p>
<p>[The</a> Early Line on Early Applications for the Class of 2016 - NYTimes.com](<a href=“http://thechoice.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/16/early-admission-2011-2/]The”>The Early Line on Early Applications for the Class of 2016 - The New York Times)</p>
<p>The numbers only include ED 1, so things may change after ED 2 apps come in.</p>
<p>Hi guys
I hope that 8% drop works in our favor…
Has everyone gotten the chance to do an interview? I was worried that I wouldn’t get one since I’m in Brazil, but I was lucky enough to be contacted by an alumnus who lives in the area.
I’ve also been having a problem with my official score report from College Board, which I sent on Nov. 3rd 
My application status page still says they haven’t gotten it…I’m getting so anxious 
I emailed them today saying that it may be because I didn’t put my full name on the SAT, but I think I’m sending rush scores anyway in case they got lost or something…
Anyone else ever had this problem? I go by my middle name and normally put in both my first & middle as “first name” but it didn’t fit on the SAT so I just put the second. I hope this is the case and they find it now that they know…</p>
<p>DMK2008,
I haven’t had any problems. My interview is December 14th.
You should call tomorrow.</p>
<p>What does it mean if I haven’t been contacted for an interview?</p>
<p>I feel like they probably have a set number to accept rather than a percentage, but that’s just a feeling, could be wrong. If I’m right then the 8% drop will work for us.</p>
<p>I think if you haven’t been contacted for an interview it just means that there may not be any alumni near your area. I was emailed directly by the interviewer on 11/17, but I wouldn’t worry. They aren’t required and a friend of mine who was accepted ED last year didn’t have one, though she was offered one; she declined. I was nervous but ended up doing it, and it was relaxed and went really well. </p>
<p>DMK - I’d not only call Midd but also Collegeboard, just in case. My October scores took almost a week to get sent (versus one day for the March SAT), but if that’s the case with you they should have been in in time.</p>
<p>It says the enrollment class will be about 600.
Have any of you visited the campus?</p>
