<p>Any luck fishman?</p>
<p>Think we should call admissions?</p>
<p>I'm not going to. I'm in Australia so the cost of an international call is probably not worth it.
Nonetheless, if you make a call, would you be so kind as to report back what they say?</p>
<p>I would but everyone around me is sleeping. It's 5am here. Email?</p>
<p>Why do you reckon you were rejected?
I reckon I was rejected because I need a hell of a lot of aid and Middlebury is not as need -blind as it once was for internationals.
Aside from that, my SATS were rather average. In the middle-50% for admitted freshmen but I think they probably hurt. I've heard international applicants have to have pretty much perfect scores and mine were far from it (CR 730 W 700 M 590 for a total of 2020). Ouch. I hadn't taken maths in three years before the test...Killer.
Otherwise, I guess I just wasn't good enough. My high school grades were straight As and similarly, at college I have straight As. I have heaps of ECs and lots of words, including national recognition by the Australian Government.
I read my recommendation from one of my university lecturers and it was so generic. He could have been writing about a kid with a D average. The bad thing was that at my current university, it's incredibly huge, so getting someone who knew me was a challenge. I saw my high school recommendation which was outstanding, but you just don't know how much one dodgy reference or a low SAT score can influence a decision.</p>
<p>Sorry for the delay. She did not have the email log in information. She is going to wait for the mail. So 1-2 days. </p>
<p>I wish you guys had better news, but I am sure you know that the stats for transfer into Midd is daunting. It all works in the end.</p>
<p>Nothing in the mail today.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm definitely worried about other colleges. Middlebury wrote back to my email.</p>
<p>"We admitted 24 transfer candidates from a pool of 218 applicants."</p>
<p>That's basically what Amherst admits, and I wasn't good enough for Middlebury.</p>
<p>I got in!!! I can't be any happier!!!</p>
<p>juenatics--where are you transferring from?</p>
<p>from another (lower-ranked) liberal arts college. lol. i did explain my reasons clearly for transferring though.</p>
<p>That's awesome again. Congrats! Mind sharing your stats?</p>
<p>High school GPA: can't remember. but it was somewhere between weak to average; an equal mix of As and Bs; B+ average?
College GPA: ~3.8
SAT: 800, 800, 800 (i retook quite recently)
SAT II: 790 lit, 800 math lvl 2, 750 world hist
Recs: one strong, one good.
ECs: College choir. That's really all.
Hooks: first generation? interest in classical music? ability to read/write in five languages?</p>
<p>Juenatics that's amazing! Congratulations!</p>
<p>However I do hope that I could help balance the info from another perspective, by giving an almost completely different set of stats. (I'm in, too.)</p>
<p>High school GPA: around 85/100, average of the class being 74. (But I'm from one of the best high schools in the country.)
College GPA: 3.45
SAT: didn't take
SAT II: didn't take
Recs: good I guess
ECs: Volunteering, Chinese calligraphy (I'm Chinese.)
Hooks: First gen, top Chinese calligrapher...I guess?
Others: I guess my essays really helped since I don't have any SAT scores, so I think showing yourself to be a good fit in Midd in the essays really tips the balance a little bit.</p>
<p>How about this one: D was waitlisted!!!
Anyone with transfer waitlist experience here?</p>
<p>Accepted and abso delighted!! Now I just need to find out how my credits will transfer?
When do we have to reply by?</p>
<p>How does Middlebury handle financial aid for transfers?</p>
<p>Congrats everyone! Now I really feel like crap. No admit and no waitlist</p>
<p>To the waitlisted: I’m going to turn down my place at Midd…one slot will open soon. Good luck guys. :)</p>
<p>To those accepted, when does Midd require you to commit on your decision to attend?</p>
