Re#34 :

Quite the optimist.

Based on your own words "“In the meantime, the place is harder to get into now than at any time in its history”,I take it that the school has not been that selective since the 70s at least.

If that’s the case, I guess what you might say, more fairly, is Wesleyan doubled its size, and some 40 years later it is just now approaching the level of selectivity it had before its expansion.

While various schools that were unquestionably its peers in selectivity before its expansion have become considerably more selective over those same ensuing decades, both than they were before and than Wesleyan is now.To the extent that they now no longer really consider themselves peers anymore, in that particular respect.
