<p>Could anybody tell me what kind of ppl Middlebury is looking for? Just wanna figure out if it fits me. Thanks</p>
<p>I'd say they're looking for all types, but there are some characteristics that they look for across the board--kids who are smart, outgoing, talented (in sports, music, drama, etc.) and curious. There are lots of kids who like the outdoors. The student body also has gotten a bit more intellectual in the past few years. They really like it when an applicant excels in something--above and beyond the norm. For example, doing community service is great and they look favorably on that--but starting a non-profit organization that will provide relief to tsunami victims would be outstanding. Being a good athlete isn't enough--you need to be team captain. You get my drift...</p>
<p>Thanks and that really help alot!!!!</p>
