Wesleyan Class of 2018 ED I Thread

<p>i really want you guys to get in. i truly mean it and if we all get in, we have to meet each other in person sometime soon because it seems like we all live in proximity</p>

<p>atlava I agree, I want us all to get in and meet in person!</p>

<p>my guidance counselor has no clue who gets in or not because theres no set gpa or score… what do yours say?</p>

<p>Mine basically says the same thing.</p>

<p>Yeah I really want all of us to get in and as the day gets even closer I realize how bad I want to go to Wesleyan. I really hope it works out for all of us. Also in regards to GPA and score Wesleyan has no set score, they do have “expectations” kind of though. also remember we are applying ED1 where the acceptance rate is a little bit more than twice as high which works greatly in our favor. </p>

<p>I also keep imagining myself clicking the show decision button. It is so scary.</p>

<p>I know I will cry uncontrollably either way…I think my whole family is anticipating tears…this week will be interesting to say the least.</p>

<p>yeah its also nice that there are a lot less applicants</p>

<p>i found out recently that my supervisor for my piano program went to wesleyan. had i known earlier i would’ve asked her for a rec</p>

<p>awww</p>

<p>i keep checking this link obsessively even though theres no point haha [Admission</a> Staff, Admission - Wesleyan University](<a href=“http://www.wesleyan.edu/admission/online-decision/]Admission”>http://www.wesleyan.edu/admission/online-decision/)</p>

<p>yeah ED1 usually has in the 500s and i think 2 something get accepted. And yeah I’m crying either way, hopefully tears of joy. My whole family is telling me to calm down but it’s just so scary. Part of me is like “your such a good candidate don’t worry about it” and the other part of me is like “omg what will they think about my personality through my essay. what are my teacher recs like. i only took italian vi”.</p>

<p>I think whatever happens happens and there’s nothing you can do right now to change your future so honestly just relax. I think it was on Wesleying or something but someone posted how the week of your ED results is the most stressful week of your life. It is but the day will come and it will be over with. And 20 years from now you won’t even be thinking about college. It’s all gonna work out guys just be optimistic.</p>

<p>Also just for the record, people who post on CC are usually the crazy ones who are qualified and just overly paranoid. Looking at last couple of years threads it seems like the majority of CC kids got accepted. Not that being on CC improves your chances but just relax.</p>

<p>Sorry if this came out corny im just trying to keep my equanimity in place and hoping this might help you guys as well.</p>

<p>haha thanks danielfelsen. yeah definitely no matter what happens, everything will work out. even though a possible rejection might really suck, itll only be really bad for a few days. but right now just think how fast these past 3 weeks have gone by. its gonna be here before we know it. we all really worked hard to get to where we are now and no matter what happens, it all works out for the best</p>

<p>yeah just try to take this next week to relax. No point of over analyzing your already submitted material haha.</p>

<p>Zen :)</p>

<p>We really do all have a chance and I agree, we need to be as calm as possible. This week will come and go and we will all be fine!</p>

<p>yeah we just need to relax.</p>

<p>Also clearwater don’t worry about not getting recs from a Wesleyan person, that really doesn’t make or break your application. Each part of your application is viewed holistically, or as I like to say wholeistically :slight_smile: .</p>

<p>and haha @atlava yeah i click view letter all the time even though I know there is nothing there.</p>

<p>haha we’re intense kids :)</p>

<p>it’s just that i spend a lot of time creating and volunteering in the program and i have nothing to back myself up. but it’s alright, i can’t change anything now and i can always send one to my RD schools</p>

<p>what do you mean you have nothing to back yourself up?</p>

<p>as in, i’m not sure if they’d be able to see my dedication and all the work i’ve put into it as clearly as they could have with a rec. it was just a thought haha i’m wondering about the “what if’s” and i just need to relax and go do my hw</p>

<p>so, do we have any hard evidence that decisions will come out on the 13th instead of the 14th or 15th? I’m just imagining how stressful it would be to expect a decision and then find out I have to wait two more days.</p>
