hi midd RD applicants, just wanted to start a thread. :~)
Hey! Applied to Middlebury too. Did you receive any email today? Looks like decision would be out on March 18th.
Yeah I got the email too! Honestly, march is going to come so quickly like I can’t believe January is almost over??? That means I hear from schools four days in a row HAHAHAH 3/15,16,17,18.
Are you a domestic applicant?
I just got an invitation for an alumnae interview. Do you know if they do this for all applicants? Thanks!
@barb2021 I didn’t receive any invitation yet. Probably there aren’t any alums in my area.
@sakibdurlob yeah I’m a domestic applicant
@barb2021 i think they do an interview for applicants if there are alumni nearby… I’m in a weird part of CA so i’m sure i won’t get one haha

Hi, I’m one of the alumni interviewers. You should have had an invite, even if only over Skype. Contact Admissions - the interviews are usually helpful for both applicant and Midd.
Love the place and would love to study Environmental Studies there. The more I learn the more hooked I am. I have read every course description in Environmental Studies and the classes sound fantastic - unmatched by any other school. The J term sounds absolutely wonderful - a chance to study something in depth is exactly what I craved during high school and didn’t have. The courses offered during this session also seem stellar. I am visiting on February 23rd and can’t wait. Having watched every video I could find on the place, spoken with alums in my town, and thoroughly researched this school - I so want to go. I know this would be a stretch for our family financially, but they are willing to do it and I am willing to work a summer job to contribute. I told myself not to get too excited because the admit rate is so low, but as the notification date draws near, I can’t help it. I would not only also be fine starting in February, but I have already found an internship that I can do for the first semester since I know if I get accepted it is likely to be for February admission. I wish there was some way to send an email that says, Hey folks you are my absolute first choice! Anyway, good luck to all.
@onedge2021 you should send an email to your admissions rep saying they are your 1st choice and describing why. Good luck!!
@barb2021 Yes I had my middlebury interview a few weeks ago. I think they’re randomly selected & not required
@OnEdge2021 - Why do you say “since I know if I get accepted it is likely to be for February admission.”?
@OnEdge2021 tell us how your visit goes!
My boyfriend got in ED1 and they told him it was actually harder to be accepted as a feb. I could be mistaken however
Let me put an end to the idea that feb admits are a higher or lower quality. All admits at Middlebury are qualified and of a very high quality. They look for characteristics in their February admits that suggest they would do a better job of fitting in in the middle of the year. It does not mean that you were more or less qualified in any way. Good luck to everyone.
@urbanslaughter, I did not realize that. What are the specific characteristics for Febs? Anyway, the truth is either way I would be over the top excited to be accepted. I am not saying that this is the only school I could be happy at, but it sure does fit with what I am looking for.
I don’t know the specifics of what they’re seeking, but the recipe seems to work. They’ve certainly done a good job putting their classes together.
I know there’s drama going around but! We hear in a lil over ten days!
@seniors.yikes.us how do you know?
