[quote=Anonymous]New poster here. Maybe years ago Middlebury "hid" weaker students in their Feb program, and Bowdoin hid them in their SAT optional thing. But that is not my impression at all from knowing the Febs of recent years, for sure. My DC applied to Midd deliberately as a Feb, as did many/most of the other Febs. Gap years are popular now and the option of a half-gap was a good compromise between our DC and us. DC wanted a full year off initially. The half-gap was perfect. You can mark on the application that you prefer the Feb admit, if you do. DC was a leader on campus, studied abroad twice, very high GPA, AND had a half-gap experience that clearly helped land a couple of incredible summer internships earlier in college than is typical for a college student. DC debated whether to graduate in 3.5 or 4 years (came in with credits). Chose 4 years in order to tuck in an extra minor and a thesis. [/quote]
