Yikes! Five HLs is a lot. Our program typically requires three to stay on track, and my kids have all done the same: HL English, Physics and History, then SL Math, Foreign Language and some other HL or SL class junior year and senior year TOK. I think my middle one did a fourth HL her junior year.
I hope your daughter can find time to pursue her passion and talent in art in college and perhaps during the summers. All three of mine had significant athletic commitments, so there was barely time for that and school, and pretty much nothing else. It is a lot of work. I am confident that your daughter will find college very manageable; that is the overwhelmingly constant feedback our program gets from former students, and my first two are no exception.
Good luck!
Just got an email saying that I was selected for the Allbritton Fellowship, which gives me the chance to study with certain professors and a $5000 stipend to complete a project relating to civic engagement and public life!
Any word on Wait Lists yet?
Wesleyan Class of 2020 results are out. Overall acceptance was 17.5%, over 12,000 applied. ED was 1,000 applicants and 381 admits… So that means over 11,000 applied RD — back of envelope for RD applicants the admit rate was 14% !
Wow. Those are impressive stats. May push Wes just outside of reach for kiddo #3. Good for them. It seems that they will find themselves back in the top 10 shortly. Endowment and admit rate seem to be the key in most methodologies, though I’m not sure - I don’t study that stuff.
Roth’s Presidency has been a good one for this school.
Can someone post a link to the stats? Thanks.
It would be nice to see the source. Perhaps the poster saw it at a WesFest presentation so there is no link.
Wes has been slow this year to update its website admission stats… usually around WesFest the new class goes up. Alas, 2019 still showing…
@liberality We were at Wesfest and there was a handout that had the Profile of the entering class of 2020. It had the stats I published above. Sorry, but I dont know how to past an image of that here, otherwise I would.
@smartalic34 we usually post it on may 1st
@Regulus7 do you know how many students were admitted?
@liberality Usually Wesleyan posts the stats of the admitted class around WesFest (not the stats of the enrolled class… that comes in August after school officially starts and the class is finalized). The profile sheet @Regulus7 is referring to was usually posted a pdf, but now the site just has it all in the main text. Ah well…
I think that’s 7 NESCAC schools with acceptance rates below 20%. Wow.
@liberality I don’t have the piece of paper in front of me right now, but if I recall the total # admitted was like ~2,100 of which 381 admits were ED1+ED2, so for the RD round the admitted # was ~1750 or thereabouts, out of over 12,000 total applicants
@Regulus7. Do you still have access to the document so that we can have hard numbers?
@smartalic34 , which other NESCAC is below 20% this year? I’m assuming in addition to Wes, the usual suspects W, A, B, M and T. Who else? I’m guessing Colby.
@wesleyan97 , I was on campus a couple weeks back for an official with my junior and those are the numbers I recall seeing in the admissions office.
It was a good day for Wesleyan to be recruiting … the weather was glorious and Wes was hosting Williams in baseball on Andrus. Kids were on the hill - like I said, a great day for Wes to be showing off to prospectives.
@wesleyan97 later today I will post them here, directly from the Profile page I picked up while at Wesfest two weeks ago.
@MiddleburyDad2 Indeed it was Colby:
Amherst 13.7%, Bowdoin 14.3%, Colby 17.5%, Middlebury 16.0%, Tufts 14%, Wesleyan 17.5%, Williams 17.3%
