<p>Does anybody know how many applications Wesleyan received this year?</p>
<p>I looked at my letter, but it doesn’t say anything about how many people applied.</p>
<p>Anyone hear in the Chicago area yet?</p>
<p>Yeah its weird, they mentioned that I was one of 715 chosen from “One of the strongest pools” or something like that, but not the exact number. Can anyone fathom a guess as to why they left the actual stat out?</p>
<p>weirdest thing…son got two responses…
one complete acceptance package with Fin/Aid
and… …one letter as being waitlisted… </p>
<p>somebody messed up…or he barely made it in last minute</p>
<p>Waitlisted…the second school from which I’ve been waitlisted. I guess all I can do is accept the waitlist offer now.</p>
<p>carynw,
I’m from the Chicagoland area and I haven’t heard anything yet. I’m really nervous, let me know when you hear!
For everyone else: do you think that if we haven’t gotten a letter yet this means we’ve been rejected?</p>
<p>I’m sorry aBeautifulMind :(</p>
<p>Decision: ACCEPTED!!!

<p>I got waitlisted.
What does that mean for chances? Anyone have an idea?</p>
<p>did anyone get something that said they were chosen out of like 712 applicants or something? doesn’t wesleyan accept more than that a year, or did i get special notification or something?</p>
<p>if you read carefully, the notice says “for one of 715 places.” so that’s the amount Wesleyan wants to get for this year.</p>
<p>Anyone else out there not heard yet from Wesleyan? Any idea what that means?</p>
<p>waitlisted. 
bummer cause of all my top choices, i thought wes would be the only one i had a chance at. does anyone know how many were waitlisted this year?</p>
<p>Son was also waitlisted and actually expected a rejection. Not sure if he actually wants to stay on the waitlist.</p>
