<p>Waitlisted in IL with a 35 ACT and a 3.86 GPA. Got the big envelope today from Pomona, so I won’t be accepting my spot on the waitlist. Have fun in the snow ;), and good luck to all of you pursuing the waitlist.</p>
<p>Waitlisted. I’m a deferred ED1 applicant too. Pull me on a string some more, Middlebury. I’m going to accept my place on the waitlist because I love Middlebury, but come on. Honestly. They’ve passed me along TWICE. This is insanely frustrating, but if I get in then it will all be worth it. They’re need aware on the waitlist though, and I need significant aid (already got a full ride solely on financial aid to another school, to provide some perspective as to how much I need) so i’m basically SOL. Now the question remains: keep up with my grades or relax a bit and enjoy the end of my senior year?</p>
