Admissions Report Class of 2016

[Modadunn]

<p>Just an FYI for those interested:</p>

<p>[Admissions</a> selects Class of 2016 | Middlebury Campus](<a href=“http://middleburycampus.com/node/15724]Admissions”>http://middleburycampus.com/node/15724)</p>

<p>Most relevant (and as a hint for those hoping to be in the class of 2017)</p>

<p>8849 total applications</p>

<p>

The target number for the Class of 2016 is around 600 students for September admission and 100 for February, continuing a trend of increasing enrollments. Because Admissions aims to fill 45 to 48 percent of the class through Early Decision I and II, they are expecting around 300 of the Regular Decision admits to accept their offer of admission, resulting in a yield of around 27 percent of the approximately 1100 Regular Decision admits.

<p>Thanks for sharing that, Modadunn. Interesting stuff. It’s kinda killing me that I’m not sure my D’s going to manage to get a second look at Middlebury. It was the first college that we visited that really got her excited, but that was a long time ago now (spring break last year). I gather your S has had a great experience there?</p>

<p>Rayrick - I could possibly write their marketing material I am that big of a fan of the school. </p>

<p>However, I know what you mean about early loves. S never saw Midd until he had been accepted, but had another earlier school that I thought would be top of his list. It was odd that it fell to three when all the acceptances came in. While I can speak highly about Midd at the drop of a hat, I will also admit that there are a lot of great schools and fit should be paramount when choosing from good options. S probs would have done well academically wherever he went to college if I am honest, but the relationships with professors and the opportunities for a lot of other stuff specific to Midd? I can’t say, but I am so glad it’s happening. His professors are, in a word, awesome.</p>
