<p>I expect college to be difficult, but yes I know that Middlebury is especially difficult. While I like my safeties, I am hoping my fits pan out, so schools like Hamilton or Colgate or GW are more realistic for me obviously. Just curious about Middlebury since I really like the area and know it is an excellent school. On a side note, I have heard good things about Bates, but I already felt I had too many colleges, so I decided to just let the Maine schools go. Unless I get a fee waiver of course :p</p>
