Apply to Middlebury College
At Middlebury College, you’ll join a vibrant community with a history of progressive thinking, challenging academics, high expectations, and even higher outcomes.
Apply NowA Holistic Process
We strive to understand our applicants in the fullest sense of who they are—in school, in their community, and as part of their family. Our admissions process is a holistic one in which we weigh multiple factors beyond test scores and grades. Your personal essay, teacher recommendations, cocurricular activities, individual background and story, and unique characteristics are all important to us.
Middlebury’s admissions decisions are based on high school records, standardized test scores, recommendations, activities and interests, and student writing. Most students rank in the top 10 percent of their high school classes and challenge themselves with rigorous course loads and a commitment to non-academic interests.
Our campus is home to about 2,500 students, with an additional 300 studying abroad in any given semester. About 10 percent of our students are non-U.S. citizens, and many others have lived abroad before college.
Deadlines and Unpredictable Delays
We understand that weather-related emergencies or other events can disrupt a school calendar, testing, or the submission of application materials; this can put stress on students, families and schools. In these cases, we will work with students and schools to support the application process and will be flexible as needed. Admissions staff is available to answer any questions you have. Please contact us at admissions@middlebury.edu, or at 802-443-3000.
