[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middlebury name recognition in the NYC and Boston area is ridiculous, super strong alumni network.  “Middlebury Mafia” on Wall Street.[/quote]

This. I’m a 50-something Midd grad with a masters and can’t tell you how many people in New England still remark on my having gone to Midd. [/quote]

remark how?
[/quote]

Along the lines of “oh, you went to Middlebury? That’s a great school” or, [b]“Middlebury? that’s hard to get in to.”[/b]  Also, for a smaller school, LOTS of Midd grads (and other NE SLAC) grads in New England. My education was good & the name recognition & alumni network has helped. But not sure if more than for other schools. MANY from my class and year above / below have kids going … almost all ED. [/quote]
Not anymore. It is a relatively easy admit ED these days, as you should well know. Of course all these kids got in ED; everyone does nowadays. [/quote]

I think all the Midd boosters on this thread are ridiculous, but your statement is also ridiculous. Middlebury is indeed a hard admit, perhaps less so if you're an athlete going ED1. I'm looking at Naviance for DS's NYC area private, and very few get in ED (most with 1500+ SATs, a few athletes with 1400s). In RD, only 5 out of 45 have been accepted in the last five years, all with very high GPAs. [/quote]
Midd takes 70% of their class ED, as of 2 years ago. If your NYC area private is not delivering, it is not because I am wrong; it is because they are doing a bad job with this particular school. Look at your "NYC private" with a more critical eye, and you might learn something.[/quote]

Middlebury is one of very very few top LACs that have a big ED advantage.[/quote]
