<p>i finally found the link:

if you scroll down to page 6, you’ll see the stats for ED 1 and 2.
hope this helps! :)</p>
<p>thank you toptop！Good luck to both of us！</p>
<p>Wow, awesome find, austrianpog! Thanks so much.</p>
<p>The REAL Class of 2014 ED Data:</p>
<p>654 EDI Applications
314 EDI Acceptances (267 Regs, 47 Febs)
48.01% EDI Acceptance Rate</p>
<p>265 EDII Applications
58 EDII Acceptances (45 Regs, 13 Febs)
21.89% EDII Acceptance Rate</p>
<p>So about half of EDI applicants are accepted. That’s extremely encouraging, but will make me feel even worse if I get rejected/deferred. haha</p>
<p>As for EDII, I’m a bit surprised. Its acceptance rate is so close to the RD acceptance rate that anyone might as well apply RD, wait an extra 2 months, and have the opportunity to compare financial aid offers. Of course, if money is no object, then two fewer months of anxiety and uncertainty would be nice. And hey, that ~2% admissions boost could be just what some people need (or ~5%, if you go by pre-wait list figures).</p>
<p>Last night, D said “this week is going to be really stressful for me because basically I’ll know by Saturday if I got into college or not so if I snap at you and Dad and sound really mean, it’s just because I’m stressed.”
I told her I thought that was a very mature, self-aware considerate thing to convey. I feel like no matter what happens with her college application(s), she is becoming a mature thoughtful person. Many schools would be lucky to have her.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone.</p>
<p>No problem! thanks for putting it here so its easy to see :)</p>
<p>No problem!</p>
<p>So, after perusing the class of 2014 ED thread again, I’ve become a bit more disconcerted. Lots of deferrals. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/middlebury-college/807664-middlebury-ed-class-2014-a.html?highlight=2014[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/middlebury-college/807664-middlebury-ed-class-2014-a.html?highlight=2014</a>
Vassar only defers about 5% of applicants. Anyone know Midd’s percentage?</p>
<p>You have to understand that posting on CC is a self-selected group and there is nothing official about those numbers, deferred, accepted or rejected. What I think has been said (whether it’s here or on the website) is that Middlebury doesn’t give you a bump merely because you’ve applied ED. Now, who really knows what the degree of truth is there because let’s face it, a starter on the lacrosse/hockey/etc team MIGHT not be as attractive a student as he is an athlete, and most recruited athletes apply ED. BUT! What is also said is that they do not accept students they wouldn’t accept under regular decision (amidst the whole pool of applicants). So, if your stats are borderline or whatever, applying ED doesn’t help even if you really, really, really want to attend Middlebury. However, it is also true that Midd looks at the totality of the application, and so it’s those recommendations, your grades, your essay, etc etc… and there is just no way to parse the individuality of that via stats, especially if the grades and stats are similar or the same. </p>
<p>Bottom line is…there are six days remaining and you can probably use those cutting statistics every which way - both in your favor and not. Not a very productive use of time and, when you think about it, kind of OCD. 
I don’t have any advice on how to make the days go faster for you, but you could think of it this way: this is the last time you will be a senior in HS… the very last time. It’s your “last” a lot of things, especially this time of year. Don’t let it pass you by simply because you’re worried about Saturday. If it were me… I might do a couple things to treat myself or someone else during the week so that by the time the weekend rolled around, I’d have a better outlook, perspective OR self-esteem to guard against any outcome! :)</p>
<p>You know what, Modadunn, you’re right. I need to stop obsessing (it’s funny that you mention OCD, because I actually have a mild case of it). Mulling over stats really is just a waste of time (as is CC in general at this point, but I digress), as it certainly won’t help my admissions decision. It just keeps Midd on the mind. I should be keeping it off my mind (I dreamed about Midd in my sleep TWICE last week), since I’m most likely facing a deferral/rejection. I just reread my entire application and thought “meh.” It seems so much more impressive when actually crafting it. Anyways, it’ll make the blow all the softer if I stop worrying so much about it and simply accept that I’ve done everything I can at this point.</p>
<p>As for enjoying my last year of high school, that ship has sailed. School has never been this stressful. I’m ready to say goodbye right now. There’s no enjoyment there, and I’d really like to have my “last” of it as soon as possible. I’m completely ready to move on. This is part of the reason why I want that ED acceptance so badly. Whatevs. In an effort to stop worrying and wasting time, I’m banning myself from CC until Saturday. See you all then!</p>
<p>Good decision and great post-wise advise as usual from Modadunn</p>
<p>Hi Everyone!
So far I’ve just been reading this thread and not posting, but I am a fellow Midd ED’er. I really hope I get to meet all of you next fall (or February :)</p>
<p>Thanks Modadunn and Dedede for your posts and advice. You guys seem to be just the type who should be admitted to Midd, where the average student is “the nicest kid you’ve ever met” (Princeton Review 373 Best Colleges, in which I may or may not have memorized the Middlebury page).</p>
<p>I’ve also had trouble sleeping from the anxiety (40 minutes last night lying in bed staring at the ceiling trying to tell myself it’s okay if I don’t get in, etc), but it is really difficult as (and I’m sure most of you feel the same way) Middlebury has absolutely no flaws. It is honestly the perfect school. But really, it will be okay, because we will get to go to other great schools (I assume most of you are NESCAC’ing for RD or ED II, as I am).</p>
<p>That said, three days, 10 hours, 3 minutes. I don’t know how much longer I can stand this!</p>
<p>svsic26,
You might as well’ve just slapped me in the face with a clock. AAAAAAHHHH!!! It’s getting down to the lines guys. I’m shivering with anticipation. Dunno if I should play Also Sprach Zarathustra or the Jaws theme when I log into the site…</p>
<p>I take that back. HAPPY THOUGHTS! HAPPY THOUGHTS! HAPPY THOUGHTS! I am going to emit positive energies into the universe. 
It’d be so cool if we all got in and could address one another by names without numbers!</p>
<p>I am considering Middlebury. I have what, a week!?!? haha</p>
<p>Good luck with ED!
why do you love middlebury?</p>
<p>sorry about the mess up on the EDII percentage!
and I’m sooo nervous. I know what you mean about Midd being the perfect school. I’ve known about it since sophomore year and i researched other colleges but always came back to Midd. I had this dream I was admitted as a Feb (which I have mixed feelings about for me but I think is a super cool program. its just that because of my situation I would probably end up working instead of traveling or something else). whatever will happen will be for the best though im trying to take a super “zen” attitude towards this but I just saw my countdown which says three days and im like AHHH. even worse I have four finals and two papers due Mon, Tues and Wed of next week. so i wont have any time to think about this whole thing…:/</p>
<p>and why I love Midd has to do with everything. I’m a huge skier (ski racer as a matter of fact) and so thats how I originally got interested (that and the fact that I like the idea of a LAC). then i visited and i fell in love with the campus and the people and as someone who has traveled A TON i loved the global focus on the campus. okay got to stop. i just love Midd :). lol
but each person has to find their own place that they think they’ll fit into. some downsides of Midd to think about is the freezing cold and tons of snow (good or bad depending) and the rural location and the fact that it is rather small, although larger than most LAC’s which is another reason why I like it so much.
hope that helps some :).</p>
<p>So scary that our decisions have officially all been made! Now we just wait until Saturday morning, aka the longest two days of my life.</p>
<p>What’s funny, rubberduckylover, is that all your downsides are UPSIDES on my list. No joke, I googled “downsides of middlebury” and “cons of middlebury.” Couldn’t find any. I also asked my alum interviewer, he said that there really aren’t any.
This attitude is really going to kill me come Saturday if it doesn’t work out. ARGH.
How are you all distracting yourselves/bracing yourselves? I cannot stop thinking about this…Hope you all are having an easier time than I am!
Fingers crossed for all :)</p>
<p>WOW toptop!are you serious about your saying that our decisions have officially all been made?My Midd account has some changes last night(the items of status are removed) somehow and I guess you are right!The decision has been made and all we have to do is to stay until Sat!</p>
<p>I suggest (again) that you all do something really nice and affirming for yourself today and tomorrow! Whatever way it all goes on Saturday, you’ll deserve it!!</p>
<p>And while S is very happy at Midd, there are downsides and nothing is perfect. The good definitely outweighs most of the not so good, but life in general is all about some trade offs. The weather doesn’t seem to be the worst thing - except for an 8am class on the other side of campus walking into the wind. And the small size is great, except when you have one of those days where you’d prefer to be lost in the crowd or part of a huge one. The school spirit is awesome except if you’ve always been a multi-sport athlete and now you’re no longer playing. Clubs and Activities are plentiful, but time is not. It takes some planning to get away from the problem set due long enough to actually get involved. Life is all about attitude and figuring out what’s important, what’s not, and what will and won’t define you. Midd is a great school to discover all of these things about yourself, but it’s not the only place to do that and it’s not perfect, despite the postcard appeal!</p>
<p>Good Luck and I’ll be hoping for all great news on Saturday…</p>
<p>i don’t think I was clear… the snow and rural location and size are all upsides for me its just talking to others when i said I was applying ED i’ve heard people worry about all of those things. honestly, atm, I can’t think of any downsides. but come saturday If I don’t get in, its just because I’m not a good fit for the school :). at least thats the easiest attitude for me to adopt…
ps I know tons of people who are applying ED and what is the “protocol” for dealing with it. I mean I don’t want to ask people cause I know if I don’t get in I’d rather not be reminded but at the same time I want to be there for my friends and I’m sure everyone who im close to is going to be dying to know about how Saturday goes… Anyone have any suggestions for what to do?</p>
