I’m the first person in at least the last few years according to Naviance, if ever, to get in from my school (granted only 5 others have applied). The only two LACs I applied to were Williams and Midd and I had just visited Williams before my interview and I told her I’d really liked it and regretted only applying to two LACs and she said I’ll write “REALLY wants to go here but can’t visit.” I think I’m out of my LAC phase now, but I’m still very grateful for my interviewer.

[li] Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Probably the hooks, to be honest and my essay. [/li][/ul]General Comments: Really, really surprised by this. I would just advise other people to apply to the schools that they want no matter what others advise you not to do. Middlebury definitely looks at the person as a whole and just at their transcript.</p>
