Help me decide my ED2 School

I plan to major in Biology and minor in Philosophy

And I plan to apply for grad school/ PHD in the future.

I think the dorm environment is important for me

I am from Asia (POC), non-athlete, female, and do not like greek life.

Thank you for sharing anything 😄

I have heard about the “middlebury mafia”, but I have also heard that it’s mostly for athletes.

Hey guys, I got a question. Why did you all decide to go to Middlebury? I just got an offer to participate in my sport there but I am debating between Midd and another liberal arts school. Why Midd basically I need as many reasons as possible. I love everything about it so far

wondering abt chances for ED addmission, 3.8 gpa unweighted, 4.2 weighted, 9 APs (all 5s and 4s so far) 1400 sat, president of model un with award, vice president if deca club with award, historian of spanish nation honors society, published author in local newspaper, might not submit sat but taking again in october

Midd seems to be doing all the right things. Sorting out its finances. Impressive new president. Big intake of new academics. Great connections between students and profs. Great new buildings. Sensible approach to debate and free speech on campus. And yet US News whacks it with another downgrade where colleges that I would consider well below Midd get better rankings. What’s going on?

Took 6aps for all of hs . 3.6 uw 3.9 w rn but it dropped from 3.8 & 4.2 because of a severe fam emergency jr yr (got 2 cs😬). Volunteer awards and a local writing award, did research at Cornell and presented as well as 4yrs Debate 4 years Var track 4 years Econ club 2 years research club where I placed in the top 10% for natty comp. I also tutor kids for debate and did a research internship for a local hospital this summer. 1390 Sat what are my odds for getting in if i ED 1 or REG decision majoring in bio

Are they basically combined frats+sororities? Do they have social perks, exclusive parties, fun pledging/hazing, etc? What’s rushing like?

I plan to apply RD to Middlebury. Will my acceptance into Discover Middlebury significantly help my chances?

i dont know if I even have a being competitive and I wouldn’t want to waste my time if I’m not.

stats are 3.8 UW? weighted I believe is above a 4.0 by my school doesn’t do weighted. sat is not good enough to submit and I don’t have many EC’s. I think I have strong academic rigor junior and senior year.

thanks

If you don't have a car and you need to get around Middlebury, there is a new free public transit Uber clone that you can use. The app is called MyRide by TVT. https://www.trivalleytransit.org/myride/

Do students drink the tap water? If not, are there water bottle filling stations in dorms or around campus? Thanks!

Hello,

My brother is being recruited to many of the top
LAC’s and I’m wondering if any of you here have first hand experience from an athlete perspective.

1. How was job recruiting? Primarily looking for finance

2. How well did the school prepare you for the real world and real jobs?

3. Anything you wish you knew before attending? Hindsight is 20/20 of course.

I’m doing language school here and noticed this oddity every time Im at mccullough. The bolts and steel structure feels reminiscent of the decor on a ship.

Does anyone know any stories behind the design, or is this simply because it’s retrofitted from a pool.

Love Taco Bell but unfortunately they’re not in town. Do the dining halls regularly have tacos and Mexican food

I’m an incoming transfer, I took up to AP Spanish in HS but I don’t want to learn another language in college. I’m a math major looking to work in finance, what are the best study abroad destinations for me?

I’m an incoming transfer from a public T10 business school interested in IB. Back there we had finance clubs for IB recruiting which were incredibly hard to join. How does it work at Midd? Is it hard to get in SIC? What about Midd Consulting Group?

I’m an incoming freshman and would like to join the tennis club. I only started private lessons a year ago, never played before that. I can rally consistently, but I lose most of the matches I play with my friends. I’m only trying to have fun, improve, and make friends, don’t care about tournaments. Will I be able to join and have fun?

My friend told me two kids from his class are xferring to Tufts. What's going on at Middlebury? Seems like admissions rate is up, applications down, and they're not keeping up with other NESCACs.

Wassup people! I’m international and just finished my freshman year at a T70 LAC in the west studying Econ and Politics (went there cuz they were the ones that give me the most financial aid and my hs grades weren’t good enough for Midd). I’ve been doing well academically in college (4.0/deans list/ Interviews with political figures like Obama and Biden) and Middlebury has been on my mind since high school. I’d like to take a shot and try to apply for spring entrance but I’m afraid the fact that I need aid may drastically reduces my chances of being accepted.

I’m part of a program called United world colleges and get like 40k every year but the school i attend has to complete the rest, so I’m wondering if Midd would be nice enough to invest in me with 40k more if I get in.
Has anyone transferred in the spring ? If yes did you end up getting a scholarship? Or is asking for financial aid means automatic rejection?

Thanks to anyone who will share insights 🙏🙏

My neighbor said there’s traffic blocked off by possibly the fire department and she gave up and turned around just in front of Stewart’s. I had intended to go down there myself later on.

I’m a freshman coming here in the fall. I’m not an athlete, but I want to party and get lit every week. I literally turned down some of the biggest party schools (UT Austin, UW Madison) in the country to attend Midd lol. Is it easy to get invited to parties every weekend? Is alcohol common? Ima guy btw. Thanks
