Middlebury’s Admissions Process
Our Philosophy
Middlebury reviews applications on a holistic basis, taking a variety of factors into account. Academic achievement, potential for contributions to the Middlebury community, and engagement with concepts core to Middlebury’s mission are major topics of discussion as our admissions committee reviews applications. We emphasize the academic record, rigor of classes, activities and responsibilities, and the personal essay in our evaluations.
Middlebury is Committed to Affordability and Accessibility
Middlebury continues to be one of few colleges in the nation that are need-blind for all domestic applicants and that guarantee they will meet a student’s full demonstrated financial need once a student has been accepted for admission. We encourage students to explore our Quick College Cost Estimator and our affordability resources.
Fee waivers are easily available for the Common Application and Coalition Application and automatically apply in the QuestBridge Application.
