I would be interested to see this. My son was really disappointed to be WL as Midd was one of his top three choices. If it does not include Feb admits, seems highly unlikely he will get off their WL.
My apologies.
Do you mind providing the link to their statistics?

Great. Thanks.
Their yield on offers of admissions is typically around 40% so it doesn’t seem to me that they over-accepted candidates.
I agree. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the yield rate at most colleges goes down this year.

Thanks for posting.
This news item has some more specific data about the demographics of admitted students, but no breakdown of the number of September vs Feb admits. Middlebury Admits 1,446 Students from College's Largest-Ever Applicant Pool | Middlebury News and Announcements

So far I have gotten into Northeastern, Hamilton, Haverford, Wesleyan and Middlebury and I don’t know how I’m going to decide which to attend.
Do you care to state your academic interests?
So 1446 RD admits to get 295(ish) (720-425 from ED, ish because of Gap years etc) across Sep and Feb means Midd is expecting a yield of about 20% from RD if I’m understanding the numbers properly. I guess Admissions know what they’re doing, but that seem quite conservative (as does taking 59% of the class from ED (425/720).)
For next year’s applicants, the story should be clear- if you really want Midd, you should apply ED.

It appears Middlebury accepted applicants as if its overall yield will be no greater than 38% this year.
I’m not sure I follow @merc81. Yield on binding ED should be above 90% and that leaves say 300 RD to get from 420 to 720 across Sep/Feb. 300 from 1446 is nothing like 38%, I’m a bit confused.
I simplified the math by ignoring confounding factors (such as gap-year students). If Middlebury accepted 1900 applicants for 720 places, then, in order to avoid over-enrollment, its anticipated overall yield would be 37.9% or lower (as later adjusted by waitlist admissions).
Same dilemma!! My top choices are Amherst, Midd, Colby, Sarah Lawrence, and Vassar and I don’t know how I’m going to choose LOL

@PerformingDude good problems to have! 
Best wishes in your decision making!

Sure, but that’s not terribly meaningful given the ED lock ins.
Well, that math predicts the overall yield as it actually will appear in future data. Students attending based on ED acceptances simply fold into that greater yield.
