Certainly your SATs and GPA look fine for Wesleyan. I would say that you must get an interview there on campus and really give them some clear idea about what makes you special, what you would add to the Wesleyan community. If you are interested in Film Studies, you would certainly want to show evidence of what you have done to develop your interests in this area. Film Studies seems to a major many aspire to, and they are going to get lots of applicants who want to study that. Probably if you were a German major or an Astronomy major that might be seen as more distinctive. Whatever you decide to do, I suspect you have heard this before, make sure that your essay, your interview, your rec letters and your ECs “tell a consistent story” about who you are and why you would be a great addition to Wesleyan. Keep in mind that Early Decision is not an easier route than Regular Decision; but if you go ED, make sure they can see why.
