My son is looking to apply ED2 to Middlebury. He only wants to go in the Fall. If he applies ED indicating that he would prefer sept admission …could the school then still offer him a spot for feb instead of sept and would this then still be binding? He really wants to start school in sept and not wait until feb. We are just worried the ED will be binding for feb even if it is not what he wants and he will be forced to go because of the binding contract. Thanks for any insight you might have.
Middlebury states that “due to the binding nature of Early Decision, the admissions committee will honor an applicant’s preferences for entry term.”
D21 was recently admitted ED1 and indicated on her app that she preferred September admission. She felt the same way about starting in the Fall vs Feb. not wantIng to wait while all her friends were headed off to school in August. Good luck to your son!
