[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Middlebury gets an "F" from this site, for those who value schools that require students challenge themselves outside their comfort zones with actual distribution requirements. We wanted an environment where students valued well-rounded educations.

This would reflect Middlebury increasing enrollment the last 5 or so years by 10-15% without saying they were doing it officially (and downright lying about it, saying, year after year, that it was all due to COVID or “unexpected yield”. I don’t think they are lying about their enrollment increase anymore, now that it is permanent.)

To make a long story short, during and after COVID, study abroad declines were killing Middlebury schools abroad, Monterey was financially bleeding — all of these are one entity tied in with Middlebury College. Also explains Midd’s recent movement to higher proportion of class admitted ED (less financial aid, more full pay, despite being “need blind”).

Anyhow, the worst of the adjustment is now over, but Middlebury is farther from the “top 5” (WASP plus Bowdoin) than it even was. And I think this is permanent. It now needs to try to hang on to what it has. But the likes of Harvey Mudd and Claremont McKenna are now looking at Midd in the rear view mirror…[/quote]
