Admitted Students
Middlebury Says Yes!
Congratulations! You’re one of the new members of our Class of 2027 and 2027.5. Here’s what you need to do to finalize your enrollment and get started at Middlebury.
Say Yes to the Possibilities
Explore what’s waiting for you here at Middlebury College.
- I knew I belonged at Middlebury College, because there’s no end to the possibilities here. You’ve got endless options for staying fresh, for feeling alive, for getting out of your comfort zone and seeing the world. It’s here in Middlebury that I found the possibilities are literally endless, to shape your own life.
- As cliche as it is, just be you is the way to be successful here on campus, because we all have something unique to bring to the table, and regardless of where you’re coming from, have confidence in this open and welcoming community. It’s a point in your life where you’re growing and changing, and deciding kind of who you want to be and how you want to live. And Middlebury offers so many opportunities to explore various aspects of that.
- Good, perfect.
- You are never gonna feel like you are an outsider, and that was one of my main fears coming to Midd. But during my first semester here, I remember vividly being in one of my classes, and my professor saying, “Congratulations for all of you to making it to this point in your academic careers.” And I think that really highlighted for me that I belonged in this community, I belonged in this classroom, and that was the start of my journey at Midd.
- What community means for me at Middlebury is the openness. Openness for different perspectives, openness for people who come from different backgrounds from you, but then also openness within disagreement, where you feel comfortable countering someone’s point, and not being scared of ridicule, or that you’ll be shamed for having a different opinion.
- If you are the type of person that wants to be in an environment where you have the complete freedom to just be who you are, and see who you could be, Middlebury is that place.
Congratulations and Welcome
Nicole Curvin, dean of admissions, is glad you’re here.
I’m Nicole Curvin, dean of admissions and it’s my great pleasure to welcome you, on behalf of our entire community, to Middlebury College.
Your admission to the Class of 2027 and 2027.5 means that you have strengths and characteristics that belong at Middlebury. We know that you’ll find and build community with professors, staff, and other students from all around the world who are as curious, creative, thoughtful, intelligent, and open-minded as you are.
We’ve put together this website as a resource for you and the trusted adults in your life. While a website can’t possibly capture the full Middlebury experience, I think you’ll find lots of info about the welcoming community you’ll be joining, what you can look forward to once you arrives on campus, how to connect with your future classmates, and—most important right now—what you need to do to confirm your spot in the Class of 2027 and 2027.5.
Once you’ve enrolled, we hope you’ll connect with our community on social media through the links at the bottom of this page. And if you have questions for us, please call or email and we’ll be happy to help.
It won’t be long until we’re all together in person here in Vermont. But until then, I hope you have a great end to your senior year. I can’t wait to have you join us for what is sure to be an exciting time of exploration and discovery.
Congratulations again! We’ll see you soon!
MIDDLEBURY WANTS YOU TO KNOW
What do Middlebury students and faculty have to say? Get a first look at life and learning at Middlebury.
A first-year seminar is a course, every first-year takes it. It’s a course designed to get you involved in the liberal arts education and what the liberal arts actually looks like. A lot of these courses are unique and are something that professors are interested in but don’t often teach. For instance, I teach a course called the Language of Conspiracy Theories, which is a fun course where we study why do conspiracy theories exist, where do they exist in the 21st century, and why do they keep popping up. Those are the types of courses that you’ll be taking with your first-year seminar. They’re a great way for you to engage with peers in your new class. Your first-year seminar professor is also your advisor. So it’s a great way to get you involved with your first-year experience here at Middlebury and to get you set up for the rest of your academic career. Next I wanna talk to just quickly about choosing a major. This is my third year at the College, and I can say that I’ve been surprised how many students show up, they have a major in mind. They know what they want to do in life. And then after a semester, maybe a year, they’ve completely changed their mind. They’ll go from something that, oh, they were all about science, and now they wanna do something a little liberal arts. Or vice versa. So to find a major, we really suggest taking a broad array of classes. Really exploring the possibilities of what interests you. And you’ll be surprised by what you might want to major in. It’s okay if you have a major already in mind when you get here, and maybe that stays your major. Maybe the major changes. Or maybe you don’t have a major in mind, and that’s great as well. The great thing is you’ll focus on taking different sorts of courses and working with your professor to find the best major for you.
