How did I even get into Middlebury at all?

I just got my acceptance today with basically a full ride in financial aid. In the same swoop, I was denied by Davidson and put on the waitlist at Carleton. Don’t get me wrong, I am so happy and excited, but I’m flummoxed as well. If I didn’t even get into those schools (which to my understanding, have substantially higher acceptance rates), why did Middlebury want me? College admissions is a mystery.

Makes me nervous about this upcoming week! I still have to hear back from Carnegie Mellon, Haverford, Amherst (yeah right), Williams (no way in hell), and Tufts.
