In another thread (linked below), there’s a discussion about how one might show interest in Wesleyan by using the additional information and circumstances & challenges section of the Common App. Pointing it out in this thread as it’s a sort of “hidden” way of proving that you’re interested in the school by taking advantage of an area of an application that’s considered to be common among schools. It’s the first I’ve heard of doing something like that, although it does make sense. I wouldn’t have expected putting an essay or even a short response specific to a college in that section.
