<p>Hey, the summer melt figures are out and they indicate about 50 students were taken off the waiting list, in line with previous classes. The official acceptance rate is just shy of 20% (19.9%)</p>
<p>In light of the official roll out of Wesleyan’s new need-sensitive policy, there are some statistics that bear watching:</p>
<p>1) Percent of first-gen students - down by 5% from a high of 18% two years ago.
2) Percent of students receiving grant aid - down by5%.</p>
<p>OTOH, the number of frosh identifying as Native American/Alaskan appears to have doubled:
