<p>I see by looking at your other posts, that you have a daughter (I assume
younger than your son). That was rejected by both Brown and Wesleyan and in your own words on one of your posts you understood why she was
rejected from Brown, but (in your words) were “miffed” when Wesleyan
rejected her. I hope your remarks on this thread are not a reflection of
being “miffed” at Wesleyan. I have a son who will be a junior at another
small New England LAC, my daughter will be a freshman this year at Wesleyan.
She was accepted at 3 of the small New England LAC’s, (one of which we assumed that would pick). We had visited Wesleyan in the fall, and I went back down with her for admitted students day (WESFEST), which is the big party weekend. I excepted to see really wild looking kids with green hair, etcc, but instead found the same mix of kids that I’ve seen at all the other
New England NESCAC schools. The kids we met were great. I’ve visited
all the NESCAC schools twice on college tours. My son was a sports recruit and he did over night visits at 4 of the NESCACs. He plays on a
team, and since we live in Massachusetts we’re lucky enough to spend time
at each of the NESCAC schools. Not everyone at Wesleyan is a one-sided
political radical. </p>
