<p>The Midd thread is quiet this year... Anyways I used to be on this site so much more about 4 years ago when I was applying to prep school (yes, they have a prep school forum lol) and now I'm back for collective high school senior, college-related angst!</p>
<p>So I went to Discover Middlebury last week and I loved it. I've always loved the college for its prestigious language program (language junkie here!). But when I stepped on campus I knew that I didn't want to consider any other school; Midd is for me.</p>
<p>I wanted to start this thread so that all us ED-ers can unite and worry/ be excited together, so feel free to post away and share your Midd experiences :)</p>
<p>I applied ED I! I agree, Middlebury has such a cool environment. Hands down the best college I’ve seen with rigorous academics but also a relaxed rural feel to the place. </p>
<p>(I hope you don’t mind if I continue to chime in…) I currently want to double major in education and English and minor in either German or theatre… That will probably change a bit as the years go on, though :)</p>
<p>Hi I’m applying ED1 to Midd as well. Very nervous about decisions…does anyone want to post stats? Also, is Midd a school that looks at diversity as a plus as opposed to say other schools which try to filter out asians?</p>

<p>What do you think my chances are? I am skeptical about my SAT score.</p>
<p>I’d like to know who else has applied ED I to Midd and an overview of their credentials if that’s not too much to ask.</p>
<p>Forgot to mention, I am captain of the local football team.
Intend to major in either Economics or Literature, both being really strong at Midd I hear.</p>

<p>Recs: My physics teacher, my english teacher, and the other co-founder of the charity I’m involved in</p>
<p>Honestly I’m really nervous. my gpa is not stellar at all. I visited Midd and fell in love but I am not sure if I will be accepted. however, good luck to everyone. you all seem very well rounded and intelligent people.</p>
<p>It’ll be too surreal for me if I get accepted. “Is this really happening?”</p>
<p>I’m expecting them to reject me, or at most, defer me. Chances of getting accepted seem pretty bleak, primarily due to the insane amounts of financial need I have demonstrated. But then again, I don’t think anyone else has ED’d Midd from Pakistan this year so that’s a plus point.</p>
<p>Anxious, impatient, but never stress out. Lol</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! Hope we meet there somehow </p>
