<p>Am I correct that there is no supplement essay on the Middlebury supplement on the new commonapp?</p>
<p>I looked everywhere ... just asks some basic information and check boxes of extracurricular interests.</p>
<p>Yep… so happy!</p>
<p>I’m wondering the same thing too. Maybe they’ll upload it later? If not, we got lucky!</p>
<p>There is the common application essay, but last year they stopped asking for a supplemental essay under the assumption that it didn’t really offer that much additional information vs the required more work force to read.</p>
<p>Hi! I’m going to be a freshman at Midd this fall.</p>
<p>Although there was no supplemental essay last year, after visiting and talking to the admissions officers this past year, it sounds to me like they will probably add a supplemental essay this year. Midd got over 8000 more applications last year than they’ve ever had in the past because it was so easy to apply. Apparently that caused a lot of stress for admissions (although obviously it is also a very good thing for Midd’s reputation!).</p>
<p>For your sake, I hope I am wrong!!</p>

<p>Not quite. Middlebury received nearly 8,000 (7,984 to be exact) applications last year, compared to 6,900 the year before. So more like 1,000 more applications (which is still a lot).</p>
<p>Im a Midd '14 kid 
No supplement essay!
Best of luck, i think my interview sealed the deal for me.
PLus, they love gap year kids!</p>
<p>I applied and got into Midd '14 this year. There wasn’t a supplemental essay, which was sweet.</p>
<p>What I heard from admissions was that they dropped the supplemental essay because it caused a lot of work, but made no discernible difference between candidates…So my guess is that it is gone…</p>
<p>The AO said that everything is with the common application essay.</p>

Hi, I am planning to take a GAP year and have been advised to not indicate this to colleges until after I am accepted. Did you let Middlebury know this on your application? Thanks.</p>
