Regular Decision Class of 2016

<p>I wish you could celebrate early, but I think they are independent.</p>

<p>^^^Others have received the same email and ultimately were waitlisted or rejected. They’re separate (the beauty of need blind admissions).</p>

<p>Have parents and kids received the yearly letter saying how competitive college admissions is and don’t think your kid a failure if they don’t get in as there are lots of good choices out there? I hated that letter, made perfect sense, but it just added to the nail biting. I swear I was getting manicures twice a week in March/April 2009. ;)</p>

<p>This is from few years back. I received similar communication from Mid for my son. He was accepted.</p>

<p>Didn’t get a letter like that.</p>

<p>New Dean this year; probably different approaches to some things, with this letter being one. Public opinion on that letter was mixed, to say the least.</p>

<p>I applied RD and never got any notices asking for financial documents or anything. But this school is a huge reach (a HIGH JUMP) for me so I doubt I even had a chance. Good luck to everyone!!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I agree! It was well written and equally terrifying. It’s Ok if your kid (or you - as they sent one to parents AND the students), doesn’t’ get in. It won’t be Middlebury, but it will be somewhere. Mixed reviews is right. I got it, but at that stage of the process it was nerve-racking.</p>

<p>So… for all those waiting… Best of luck and I hope you will come and share the news!!</p>

<p>Did everyone get an email about a week ago reminding them that the decision would be available online tomorrow and then going on to state that rejected students will only be informed online and not get any further mailings? It just struck me as putting more emphasis on the rejection but maybe I’m being paranoid.</p>

<p>I received the email and so did my other friend from school who applied. I am on the West Coast so I get to hear at 5AM tomorrow instead of 8AM…not like it makes a difference, but for once the time change doesn’t jip me.</p>

<p>I think the rejection only online is nice. D was rejected from a school that let you know online via their portal and then also sent a letter saying the same that arrived three days later. It’s kind of like… hey, just to let you know: we REALLY didn’t want you! She would have been happier to have read that only once, thank you.</p>

<p>DO you know how many spots are left available for the regular applicant pool? I was looking through the ED thread and saw a stat that said something like 270 of the 600 person class has already been filled… and I don’t even know if that was just ED round 1… Basically, I want to know if I even have a chance! :/</p>

<p>If I get in tomorrow morning - no matter what - I’m putting the deposit down immediately!</p>

<p>I assume I have basically next to no chance of getting in, but still - I’m dying in anticipation of tomorrow.</p>

<p>So kinda freaking out…
I was able to log in here!!! Am I in?
Try it: [UG</a> Deposit | Middlebury](<a href=“Application Instructions and Deadlines | Middlebury College”>Application Instructions and Deadlines | Middlebury College)</p>

<p>Unfortunately, I really doubt it. It worked for me as well, so I’m assuming it’s set for everyone to be able to deposit money. That way everyone who gets in tomorrow can pay if they want and they don’t have to take the time to differentiate between everyone’s accounts. Haha, plus you’d have to just be very silly to pay if you didn’t get in. As much as I wish it was a sign, it’s probably not.</p>

<p>haha same im dying to find out even though i have a pretty good feeling i didn’t get it…</p>

<p>that link works for me too…i hope it means something.</p>

<p>So are you guys waking up early to look? I am debating whether or not set my alarm for 5AM or just sleep and look in the morning…</p>

<p>I’m planning on checking at 5 am. I wake up periodically throughout the night anyways, so I figure, “Why not?” It’ll also be able to just go right back to bed and forget about everything for a little longer, assuming I receive the rejection I’m anticipating. I feel like a rejection would be a pretty awful way to start the day.</p>
