To those of you who’ve just been admitted to Middlebury, congratulations!!! The next weeks are sure to hold a big decision–I urge you to reach out of me, or any of the senior fellows, with any questions you might have (about Middlebury, Vermont, college in general–can be anything!). After an arduous application process and a long wait, you’re doubtlessly being courted by many fabulous institutions. The ball is in your court. Enjoy it!

For those of you who are anticipating this day coming in a year or so, take a deep breath. The process ahead of you can be exhausting at times, but if you can remember to enjoy it, it’s fun! Whether online or in person, you’re taking scouting trips for the possibilities of your next four years. Enjoy trying on different future lives!

I’m looking forward to meeting many of you at Preview Days. Enjoy your decision-making!
