As a parent of recent Midd graduate - I recommend that any family whose kid was accepted and will attend Middlebury start booking accomodations for every family weekend that they wish to attend from the coming one until graduation, as well as booking accomodations for drop-off weekends, and if you want to pick them up, book accommodations for that period.
If you can book accommodations for graduation weekend, do that as well.
They run out very quickly .
However, family weekends are the worst since that is when the leaf-peepers start descending on Vermont in droves.
Some do, though most B&Bâs donât. Check how far out they open reservations, and set a reminder on your calendar. Some will email you when reservations open if you contact them.
Have you found out when ED2 results for Midd will come out? Wesleyan is on SatâŠand they came out the same day for ED1 though I have no idea if that is relevant! Crossing my fingers for you!
Middlebury appears to have changed their admissions approach over the last two cycles, giving significant preference to ED applicants. Perhaps this is in response to over-enrollment in the previous few years, requiring them to take extreme measures, like offering students $10K to take a semester off.
Early decision is one of the most effective ways to manage enrollment. Last year, they accepted 516 ED 1 and 2. If they took 425 in ED 1, and letâs say they take 100 in ED 2, that leaves 175 spots for RD applicants, since the target is generally 600 for spring and 100 for Feb. The word is getting out that if you want Midd, apply ED.
I see. I guess they donât release the number of students who applied ED for each year? Just how many are accepted? I am now curious how man of the 12k applied ED âŠ
