<p>WOW, I can not believe I got in. Im in total shock!! After Bowdoins rejection and Oberlins waitlist, I thought there was no way i was getting in to Midd. </p>
<p>My finaid kinda sucks though, considering that Kenyon is giving me a full ride. Do you think I might be able to use that as leverage? Because at this point, Midds finaid just isnt good enough to justify going there. And it may not even be financially feasible for me.</p>
<p>CONGRATS to those who made it, your hard work has paid off!! My condolences to those who didnt, im sure you have amazing options!</p>
<p>waitlisted.</p>
<p>GPA 3.97uw 1460 SATs/2200 rank #4/414 Natl Merit Finalist, winner of Philadelphia Young play writers where my played was perfomed at Temple Univ., four years varsity tennis with three years all dist etc etc etc.</p>
<p>Who knows why one of us gets waitlisted and who gets in? I am disappointed but have gotten in to Colgate and Marquis scholar at Lafayette. Waiting for Wesleyan.</p>
<p>I am very happy for all who got into Middlebury. I wish you guys all the best at Midd. I will turn down waitlist. If they don't want me first round the hell with them!</p>
