Also, Wesleyan probably offers, on average, slightly more loans and less grants than Williams/Amherst/Swarthmore, so it’s going to lose the top cross-admits on money alone. I’m sure in some cases Wes offers better money, but on average, I bet the top kids are choosing Wesleyan’s Little Three rivals because a few thousand dollars is making a difference.

Edit: With an admit rate of 20% (Williams 18% for comparison), Wesleyan can hardly be quantified as a “safe” school for anyone…
