This is the official thread for those applying ED to Wesleyan University.
List your unweighted GPA, any SAT /ACT scores, and ECs. What majors are you going into?

My child has a 4.0 UW/ 4.8 W 13 APs. They have taken all the classes recommended by Wes. His ECs are average. My dilemma is regarding submitting SAT scores. They are 760 EWR/710 math or a 1470 total. I’ve read way too many threads discussing the discrepancy between the CDS and the class profile on Wes’s website and am still confused. The class profile seems to suggest we should only submit if he has a 1480 total. I know his math would be considered quite low (admitted profile shows 750/780/790for 25th/50th/75th and enrolled(?)median of 750), but his English is on the higher side of the range (admitted profile shows 730/750/770 for 25th/50th/75th and enrolled (?)median of 740). Any thoughts on how to handle? Do they pay attention to the individual sections of the score or mostly just the overall score?
TBH, I think the aptitude tests have gone the way of the alumni interview: applicants may take comfort in performing well, but they are rarely the decisive element in the applicant’s file. Wesleyan is on record as saying that it gives more weight to the gpa. Don’t let the jitters turn a 1400 SAT into a “bad” score. It’s not.

Does anyone know whether Wesleyan requests first quarter grades as part of its ED1 consideration?
UW GPA 3.9, 34 ACT super, 6 AP’s (5’s in all taken last year), ok EC’s - theatre, choir, outdoors program, school leadership. Interested in Bio/Envi and theatre.

It’s not on the WesCheck checklist, and since many high schools don’t don’t have quarter grades on the transcript, I think it is safe to assume that they do not.
Thank you!

Has anyone’s counselor heard, for certain, when they’ll send out admission decisions for ED this year? IT seems as if it has happened on Saturdays in the recent past… ? I’m guessing Saturday the 13th around 3pm or so? Anyone know anything for sure?

Any updates here? My student is anxious as other friends are all hearing news. Middlebury was released last Saturday, so I assume there is precedent for a weekend release?

Their instagram page confirms it.
ApplyingtoCollege shows it as midnight on Friday night. And there’s a checkmark next to it like it’s confirmed.
Today’s the day. Good luck to all the students (and parents) on this thread. Remember, whatever the decision you receive today, it is not a referendum on your skills, talent, and your future. Finding your college fit isn’t always about getting into the school you think is your top choice. Deep breaths!
