<p>Wow, I didn’t know that Wesleyan was that popular.
It’s interesting to look at the numbers of the colleges you applied to and think, “That units digit would be one below what it is now if it weren’t for me.”</p>

7

<p>Wesleyan does not have a supplement so that may contribute to some additional applicants, of ones who have at least some interest</p>

8

<p>Applications to Wesleyan were down six percent compared to last year. Applications to Colgate and Grinnell also were down. All of the other schools on my list saw a rise in applicants.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yeah. Grinnell is the only school on my list where applications didn’t rise.</p>

10

<p>So what’s this year’s Midd’s acceptance rate???</p>

11

<p>It’ll probably be around 17-18% for all admits, and between 16-17% for fall admits.</p>

12

<p>Middlebury no longer requires a supplemental essay – they eliminated it after the applications for the class of 2013</p>
