<p>Anyone give up an Ivy admission offer to go to Midd? If you did, why? Was it a tough choice? Have you heard of others in this situation? What were their considerations and experiences?</p>
<p>my brothet gavge up yale for mit if that epls i on the other hand gave up cornel for Johns hopkins --premed</p>
<p>sorry for all the typos i wAs rushing</p>
<p>thanks. any other thoughts?</p>
<p>inAll honosty its about fit its about what you want to do , its about the people anf if you fel comfetable around them , i would go to either , midd is awsome and ivies are ives , thusly look for fit , and don't worry , there comes a point when both schools are so selective and so good ,like this time , in whence you cAn't go wrong .</p>
<p>i'm turning down cornell, know two people turning down amherst</p>
<p>thanks for all the discussion, anyone else want to join in?</p>
<p>It depends on what ivy league school you are referring to. If it is Yale - go to yale. If it is anything else, go to Midd. You will never regret the enriched experience you awill have at a small liberal arts college where people are passionate about the campus and what is happening there. Ivies are overrated, and I mean that - not just in spite.</p>
<p>kdanieli~ do you ski?</p>
<p>My two friends just picked Middlebury over Yale...they wanted to play sports in college, and probably couldn't compete at the D1 level.</p>
<p>happycollegemom, yes I ski.</p>
<p>GateNY09...so why do you single out Yale? (Yale decisions for transfers aren't out yet...nor are Dartmouth and Cornell.)</p>
