<p>My D loves Middlebury, but Mid only seems to take athletes from our large NJ public HS . If you request Feb admission is it easier to gain admission. Can you do that as an ED option? Thanks</p>
<p>In theory it would increase your chances, but in practice I don’t think that it does. I checked both boxes when I applied thinking I’d be more likely to get it, and a lot of my friends did the same thing, lol. However, one of my close friends got admitted as a Feb, even though she checked the Reg only box on her application. So I think that they consider your application as a whole and then decide if you’d be a good candidate for Feb-ness. My friend was the perfect Feb, while I don’t think that I would have been the right person to start mid-year. It’s crazy how much insight they seem to get from just the application. Good luck to your D!</p>
