My son reports that Wesleyan is a popular choice at his high school because it employs the Common App without any school-specific supplement. In other words, the marginal effort to apply to Wesleyan is another click of the computer mouse. I don’t know if this is entirely correct, but in an era in which so many are applying to 10-12 colleges, having a few “easy applications” on the list makes sense.
