If that’s the case, only the Wesleyan FA department can answer your question. As it stands, it sounds wise to leave Wesleyan off your list. Back in my day and judging from the experiences of younger friends since, Wesleyan had great aid. When I transferred from Bowdoin, the package was nearly identical. My friend turned down Swarthmore for Wesleyan a few years ago because of the difference in aid. Sometimes I wonder if they subtly “send a message” to the applicant about the school’s enthusiasm for the student to attend by offering relatively more or less money.
