What are the requirements to transfer to Middlebury College?

I'm looking into transferring to Middlebury College and want to make sure I have all my bases covered. What specific requirements do they have for transfer students? Are there any prereqs or documents I need to focus on?

In order to transfer to Middlebury College, it's crucial that you understand their requirements thoroughly.

First and foremost, Middlebury accepts both fall and spring transfer students, therefore you need to understand what the deadlines are. For fall transfer, the applications are due on March 1, and for spring transfer, the application deadline is November 1.

For the application, Middlebury uses the Common Application. You need to fill out the Transfer Application form. Along with your application, you'll need to submit the following supplemental documents:

1. Middlebury College Transfer Writing Supplement: This contains additional questions specific to the college.

2. College Report: This form is completed by somebody at your current college who has access to your academic and disciplinary records, such as a college registrar, advisor, or dean of students.

3. Official college transcript(s): These should come from all post-secondary institutions you’ve attended.

4. Final high school transcript: It is necessary even if you’ve completed some college-level work.

5. Midterm Reports: If you are currently enrolled in college classes, you must take this form from the Common Application to each of your current professors to get progress grades.

Additionally, Middlebury requires you to submit an academic recommendation. This should ideally be from a current professor.

It's important to note that Middlebury requires a minimum of 2 years (or 18 academic courses) to be completed at Middlebury, this applies regardless of how many credits you transfer with. Therefore, students who possess an Associate’s degree or who have attained Junior status may not be eligible to transfer to Middlebury.

Standardized tests such as SAT or ACT are not required, but you can submit them if you believe they will strengthen your application.

Lastly, Middlebury is committed to making the transfer process as smooth as possible, and they recommend potential transfer students contact their admissions office directly if they have any additional questions or concerns. They can provide you with personalized advice and guide you through any confusing parts of the process.
