Middlebury is my dream school and I'm planning on applying ED. Does anyone know what the acceptance rate for Early Decision applicants is? It would be really helpful to know!
Middlebury College is indeed a popular choice for Early Decision applicants, likely due to their strong liberal arts program and close-knit community!
The acceptance rate for Middlebury's Early Decision applicants does vary from year to year, but it typically falls between 35% and 45%. It's also worth noting that this rate is significantly higher than the overall acceptance rate which has hovered around 15% to 20% in recent years. This difference reflects the fact that the college, like many others, values the commitment demonstrated by Early Decision applicants. But do remember, this does not constitute a guarantee of admission and the admissions office will still carefully review all aspects of your application.
So, while you should definitely consider Early Decision if Middlebury is your top choice, continue to make the rest of your application (like your essays and your demonstrated commitment to your extracurriculars) as strong as possible! Best of luck with your application!
