<p>Does anyone know how open Middlebury is to minorities...I read somewhere that it accepts 75 percent of the african american applicants....</p>
<p>So im guessing that it is trying to increase diversity by alot?? maybe?</p>
<p>Does anyone who goes there notice these trends? </p>
<p>Is there a fair share of middle easterners/ Iranians in particular (like me) on campus?!</p>
<p>There are a few, yes. Like me, for instance. :-) I'm Egyptian.</p>
<p>From what I know Middlebury has the most inclusive environment among the the 5 top LACs (Williams, Mid, Amherst, Swathmore, Pomona)</p>
<p>For details you could look at the following,</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Middlebury College will expand its partnership with The Posse Foundation when 10 students from Chicago enroll at the college in the fall of 2012. The foundation identifies, recruits and trains public high school students with leadership and academic potential to become Posse Scholars. The students receive four-year, full tuition scholarships from Posse’s partner colleges and universities, where they attend in teams, or “posses"
Middlebury adds a second Posse | Middlebury</p></li>
<li><p>Middlebury also has one of the highest number of “davis Scholars” who are (mostly) international students who are politically and socially very active.

<p>With the incoming class of 2015 there will be more than 100 davis scholars and 80 Posse scholars providing for an amazingly diverse environment :)</p>
