I think most parents would realize the reality which is that this incident has little to no impact on admissions or bearing on their high school seniors, despite what you wish would happen. A Wesleyan student was murdered on campus in 2009 and that didn’t have an impact. Amherst had a tremendous amount of negative press from all of the sexual assault allegations (as has Wesleyan to some degree) and that didn’t affect Amherst’s admission stats. I know your goal is for Wesleyan is to fall out of the top 50, but I just don’t think this incident will do it. I’d like to add that selectivity accounts for, what is it, 1% of US News rankings methodology?
