Middlebury Admissions Not Affected by Sexual Preference

To the editors:

I want to clarify Middlebury College’s admissions policy as described in your editorial “A Box of Their Own?” (Oct. 13). While Middlebury College welcomes students from diverse backgrounds, it has no admissions policy related to sexual orientation. Middlebury accepts only those applicants who have demonstrated evidence that they will succeed at the college academically and who will make positive contributions to its undergraduate community.
