General Comments: I know that I should be happy, since I’m into two of Middlebury’s peer schools, but I was a bit disappointed. Middlebury was never my top choice, but I was hoping to be accepted. My interview went very well. I’m not going to stay on the waitlist. I’ll most likely be attending Carleton, Haverford, Hamilton, or Ohio State in the fall.

[/ul]General Comments: I was expecting this, or maybe a waitlist. I got waitlisted at BC, which had been my top choice. But I’m realizing more and more that they wouldn’t have been a good fit for me. Midd would have been nice, but it is what it is. I got in at Colgate, and It looks like that’s where I am going to be next year! We got great financial aid. Good luck to everyone else!

leeloo231 · March 26, 2011, 8:38am

@kazala–yep! it’s pretty mean, gotta say. at least if i were rejected i could walk away knowing i can fully devote myself to my other acceptances. but now i’m just in this limbo. ahhhhhh. i let them know, over and over, they were my top choice. so there must have been somethinggg stopping them from just accepting me…

mindysu · March 26, 2011, 8:40am

Reflection

[]Strengths: Essays, SATs, other test scores, course load

[]Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: The reasons are numerous and most are evident
[]Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Accepted at Rutgers, Wellesley (likely letter), waitlisted at Boston College
