<p>its an unweighted gpa, nobody at my school has a 4.0</p>
<p>Ah, that makes sense. Though my unweighted GPA still isn’t that far off from that and most kids from my school that have gotten in in past years have much better scores than me</p>
<p>does anyone know how the 100 scale transfers to the 4.0 scale? I dont think you just divide by 25.</p>
<p>i go to a top specialized public school. wesleyan knows about us and cliff thornton (one of the DOA) visited.</p>
<p>i go to a private school, its the best in the area i believe in exception to my rival school. how about you?</p>

<p>as you can see from the stats though. A lot of kids have gotten rejected haha. and thanks atlava that makes my life much clearer lol.</p>
<p>oh he does that borough as well? he came to my school too. my school has a good relationship with wes but more so in the past</p>
<p>yeah i believe he goes to various states to speak about wes.</p>
<p>I go to a public school. We made top 400 Us News schools, but definitely not a top institution. We have had 3 state teachers of the year in the past 10 years and one national though.</p>
<p>yeah we are #262 in us news/gold. top 10 in the city. its an arts school so theres a wide spectrum of kids.</p>
<p>thats good!</p>
<p>there are so many rejects ahh</p>
<p>yeah unfortunately all good schools reject more than they accept. my school offers a decent amount of APs so I was able to do that also but I think as with most public schools, it has a its fair share of problems. Especially “common core”</p>
<p>I was going to attend an arts school near me, however they recently made their admissions lottery based instead of audition to try to create diversity so the level of rigor has gone down substantially. I get a better arts education at my public school</p>
<p>oh wow that seems to defeat the purpose of an arts school…</p>
<p>Yeah though it makes sense. The city adjacent to mine has a lot of economic issues, and the schools systems became a joke. So the state paid for magnet schools all around that area to try to integrate the students from this city in with the more affluent kids from around the state. They made one the of them an arts school, but noticed it wasn’t doing anything to advance their initial purpose. </p>
<p>I get why they did it, but there’s no reason for me to attend</p>
<p>yeah I see.</p>
<p>i was stalking old threads and i came across this:</p>
<p>“Wesleyan has its faults and its good points, but one thing that I absolutely love about it is that there is absolutely NO pressure to conform to ANYTHING. This campus is the epitome of radical individualism. If you are a biological male, but you think of yourself as a blonde cheerleader named Sally and dress accordingly, then people will respect that. If you, like me, are a button-down, white collar, atheistic conservative Jew (yes, we do exist), then people will respect you as well (though they might occasionally call you a racist or a sexist for daring to use non-inclusive speech - no, madjoy, sensitivity is not a compelling reason for fascism). I guess the point I’m trying to make is that while other schools have some homogeneity in their student body, race, class, sexual orientation and gender-wise, Wesleyan goes out of its way to break away from that. The result is a very individualistic campus full of students who are pathologically unwilling to admit that they are wrong about anything. If this sounds appealing, come to Wes.”</p>
<p>its saved on my phone (not creepy at all haha)</p>
<p>Well that sounds nice. I’ve never forced myself into a representation of any ‘group’ though I definitely get along with some that do more than others.</p>
<p>This is one reason why I love Wes, individualism is not only accepted but embraced…let the quirky awesomeness live on!!</p>
<p>I do however tend to get put off when people brag about their ‘quirkiness’ or how ‘weird’ they are, as if it’s a badge of honor they show off. That was a concern of mine with a lot of my schools.</p>
