@JerseyGirl2001 , is there any way she could visit for a day and stay overnight (with someone who graduated from her school, perhaps?)
I think your GC’s comments reflect the dominant culture at Wes while @circuitrider accurately highlights that there is a lot going on outside that and that there is no single type of kid there.
I think your D should get the vibe thoroughly before applying ED. I also think it is absolutely possible to love a school and thrive there even if “your tribe” is smaller and outside the mainstream. The key is going in with your eyes wide open. And Wes, being slightly larger than many LACs, has a bigger community (which is good in this regard. )
FWIW, most of the people I know who have attended Wes in recent years have been free spirits. Some artsy, one non-binary, etc. All really smart. But I know kids who absolutely do not fit that description who were considering it as recruited athletes.
