<p>admit the defeat and go home mr. sour grape, or you’d become mr. raisin in the sun.</p>
<p>Wesleyites are quite the defensive bunch. Hmmm…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Because we object to some curmudgeonly Swarthmore grad popping mischievously into our forum to suggest that a tragic power plant accident in downtown Middletown should somehow reflect poorly on our school?</p>
<p>Hmmm . . .</p>
<p>
I learn something new every day:
[Andrew</a> Breitbart Disses Wesleyan at Tea Party Convention – Wesleying](<a href=“http://wesleying.org/2010/02/09/andrew-breitbart-disses-wesleyan-at-tea-party-convention/]Andrew”>http://wesleying.org/2010/02/09/andrew-breitbart-disses-wesleyan-at-tea-party-convention/)</p>
<p>“Andrew Breitbart Disses Wesleyan at Tea Party Convention”</p>
<p>A badge of honor IMO</p>
<p>I have a confession to make.
I adore Sarah Palin because she reminds me of my childhood fake Barbie’s mom character doll in up-do and fire engine red skirt suits who was supposed to be a fashion designer and lived in Paris.</p>
<p>You do realize that after that explosion Wesleyan banded together to help out with the aid and recovery efforts right?</p>
<p>Students and other members of the community have been working to provide meals for the workers at the powerplant and the recovery effort.</p>
<p>As a student who knew the beautiful person who was murdered last year and has friends who were very close to her, I take offense to your bringing that up in a context of this ■■■■■-like post. </p>
<p>While some alums might have some issues with other schools, most students and alums love wesleyan and love and respect other liberal arts schools which promote similar ideas. Swatty is one of those.</p>
<p>Take your vitriol and ■■■■■-age elsewhere.</p>
<p>Ah…Swat Grad, memba this
[Armed</a> Intruder Assaults Swarthmore Student in Dorm | NBC Philadelphia](<a href=“News – NBC10 Philadelphia”>Armed Intruder Assaults Swarthmore Student in Dorm – NBC10 Philadelphia)</p>
<p>Listen, this website is not the forum for such bs.</p>
<p>Take it elsewhere. </p>
<p>If swat grad is being a ■■■■■/obnoxious/anything, ignore the posts and this thread. Seriously. Swatty is an incredible school. I would have applied there had it not been half the size of my high school. The school is beautiful and the academics are incredible, as are the students. The same applies for wes. </p>
<p>To each their own. Take this shenanigans elsewhere.</p>
<p>Swatgrad, I’m not sure what your comprehension says about your education, but it seems to me that JW was giving swatty a compliment for having more applicants. I’m pretty sure we all know that more applicants don’t mean a better incoming class.</p>
<p>UChicago and swatty don’t get ‘fluff’ applicants most of the time because they’re known to be difficult undergrad institutions, so having less applications there says as much as it does about the students that apply as well as those that didn’t.</p>
<p>I guarantee that there are more ‘fluff’ applicants at wes than at UChicago and Swatty, then again that’s what the admissions office is for. To first get rid of the fluff, and then select the best incoming class from those left.</p>
<p>If wesleyan’s applications drop, I won’t lose any sleep over it as long as the stats, interests, and long term successes of the body keep getting better. Wes has garnered a lot of attention from popular media due to the music scene here and of the alums, and that has as much to do with the applicant rise as does having obama as a graduation speaker before his presidency.</p>
