To Choose and Be Chosen
If there were a recipe that guaranteed admission to Middlebury, someone would have cracked it by now. The fact of the matter is that there is no clear-cut formula that distinguishes Middlebury students in the making. The admissions committee at the college, holed up in the cozy Emma Willard House on the periphery of campus, considers a range of factors in evaluating candidates, and those factors tend to value individual quirks and strengths over empirical gauges of potential.

Middlebury might be a Division III school, but this is the little engine that could on the athletic fields. Middlebury has perennially competitive teams in its New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), and athletics are a way of life for many Middlebury students. Sometimes that means competing on a varsity team, but just as often it means taking off for the Snow Bowl, playing Ultimate Frisbee on Battell Beach, or joining a feisty intramural hockey team.
The Panthers field thirty-one varsity teams and about thirty intramural teams. Between these two programs, a significant percentage of students participate in athletics. Others are staunch fans, pouring into the student section at the Chip Kenyon Arena to cheer on the men
Alumni
Attending Middlebury earns one admission into a small but tight-knit community, both on campus and in cities and countries around the world. Running into a Middlebury student, current or past, is a treat, and most Middlebury students recognize that spending four years on this snowy campus in central Vermont is a sort of badge of honor. A Middlebury degree signifies a bond with all who came before, or who came after.
As I embarked on the stressful task of job-hunting during my senior year at Middlebury, I was bowled over by the support and enthusiasm I received from strangers I met through the Middlebury alumni network. All we had in common was a name on our diplomas, but that didn
