@mbhopeful20 All the usual stuff- embrace the rest of your senior year, focus on the things that really interest you in your classes, have fun with your friends, make the most of your remaining time in HS, and give yourself permission to stop obsessing about colleges. This process is so intense… transitioning from a college applicant to a college freshman is an adjustment. But you’ll get used to it pretty quickly (my daughter certainly did)!

After a while… like in a few months… check out the classes offered and familiarize yourself with the different distribution requirements etc. Middlebury doesn’t send out housing forms and freshman seminar selections etc. until July so be prepared for a loooong wait. Also they are changing their AP credit policy so be sure to check that out if you are planning to take a bunch of AP tests in the spring. You might want to save $$ by picking and choosing the tests to take based on their new policy.

Finally, Middlebury encourages a gap year so if that is a consideration for you be sure to give it lots of thought as there are many students who take advantage of it. I am sure the admissions office can connect you to students who have gone this route in the past.

Again, congrats on your acceptance and welcome to a pretty awesome community.
