I was at info sessions at both Midd and Hamilton recently. The way the Jan/feb program was discussed was night and day. At Midd, it was a planned part of the presentation. They talked about the box you can check or not check if you want to be considered for Feb. They talked about what students have done that semester before they matriculate, they spoke about the graduation. Then the tour guide spoke about it too. And the profiles of tour guides posted in admissions office, delineated students who were Febs. You couldn’t possibly miss that this is a program at Midd. At Hamilton, the Jan option was not brought up at the info session, even when the admissions counselor was discussing ED vs RD. Someone asked him a question about it and the response was something like, there are about 45 applicants we really love, but we don’t have room for them so they come in January, and some of them spend the fall in London. Then someone asked if they graduate in 4 years, and he said ‘I think so’. I also attended a Hamilton info session with my first child a few years back and the Jan option was handled the same way. Not mentioned on the tour either. Now it is a smaller program at H vs Midd, but being more transparent about it, would be a better approach.
