waitlisted at Wesleyan, but accepted as an Early Write to Swarthmore and Smith (with merit), Pomona, Mt. Holyoke (merit), Bryn Mawr (merit), Brandeis, Scripps, and Mills (merit). I was also a legacy and my stats were in range for Wes. Very weird that I would get into Swat and Pomona but not to Wesleyan.



Actually, not that surprising. When you’re dealing with schools that have 15-25% acceptance rates, nothing is a guarantee. Yes, Swarthmore and Pomona have slightly higher stats and slightly lower admission rates, but the differences are fairly small in the grand scheme of things. Congrats on your numerous acceptances, but when you’re dealing with the top highly selective LACs (or top universities) it’s a crapshoot.
