You applied to Middlebury and Bowdoin, among others.

You were deferred to Midd, accepted to Bowdoin, among others.

You sent in your payment to secure a seat at Bowdoin, for that was the best choice you have.

Now comes Midd from the waitlist with an offer.

What to do?

First, you have not lost anything, other than a few dollars to reserve a seat.

Second, where do you want to go? Do you know why you want Midd or Bowdoin?

Third, though both are great schools, both are very different. Where do you want to go?

If you still do not know where you fit, then do whatever.

Four years is a long time, yet short when you are done. I cannot imagine where my several years have gone. Choose wisely, as this is your best shot.

Cheers.
