22% acceptance rate

<p>The statistics that have been posted are very interesting. One further point I would note is that usually a university’s yield rate declines as it admits more highly qualified applicants (as reflected by test scores). So, if Wesleyan is predicting the same yield, despite a higher quality pool of students admitted, then that is a very optimistic projection. Rather than being crowded, Wes may find it needs to admit students off of the waiting list. Given how many students have already been admitted ED, I think there is little risk of an overly crowded first year class. If I were Wes, I’d be more worried about not quite reaching their goal for a somewhat larger first year class.</p>
