<p>I think Wesleyan will likely admit, since it’s SAT optional this cycle, but you might be better off going RD since you need aid and this will allow you to evaluate several offers and consider taking the best one, ED1 will not and you will be obligated (although cost is the only way to back out of an ED college acceptance). I think ED at Wes you would likely be admitted, as you would also in RD, but RD will allow you to consider offers from those other colleges, which is probably a more financially savvy way of doing it. Wesleyan do offer good financial aid but NOT full need for Intl students, I think you are in a bit of a quandary here. I would suggest RD is better for you.</p>
