Do I have a chance of getting into Middlebury?

<p>^^ We recently had a similar discussion on the Wesleyan board and a current student was able to recall the following discussion with an adcom:

3. The Admission Deans definitely want to know about any kind of learning disability, especially if it is a huge part of your identity. One dean who I asked said, “Every year we receive successful applications from students who focus their entire essay on their LD and how it has shaped them.” BE HONEST. Yes, you are trying to showcase yourself in the best light, but being genuine is more important than withholding information about yourself from the people who are trying to help you. I’m not sure if you have started the Common App yet, but there is a space for extra information that hasn’t come across in your application and you can use that space to talk about your LD, if you do not want to dedicate your entire essay to it. Feel free to also include a statement from a doctor if you think that would help explain your situation better.</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK!
