<p>essays: common app essay very personal and pretty strong. supplement about my environmental philosophy.</p>

<p>1 teacher rec very strong, the other one positive, but not very well-written or insightful.</p>

<p>potential major: environmental studies and/or anthropology/sociology</p>

<p>I'm also applying to Yale and Amherst, both of which I would be happy to go to. I love Middlebury though. Would my chance be better if I applied ED or RD?</p>

<p>Only apply to Middlebury ED II if you're sure you want to go there. If you get accepted ED II, you'll need to withdraw all of your other applications.</p>

3

<p>i've heard that they accept a smaller percentage of ED2 applicants than they do for ED1 or RD. Is this true?</p>

4

<p>I'm curious as to the answer to his or her second question as well. Bump</p>

5

<p>It's a smaller percentage, but it's still a pretty good percentage.</p>

6

<p>^What's the advantage of ED II over RD? It seems like a pointless option from the applicant's perspective unless they go easier on you or offer more FinAid.</p>

7

<p>would you still go to middlebury if you got into yale and amherst?</p>

8

<p>Depends on your other choices. If you like to be close to quality skiing, go for it.......</p>
