I’m confused. Wesleyan is so exclusive but from what I can see it only makes decisions based on Common App personal statement, GPA, tests if you submit them, and interview if you do one. Considering that such a large number of the acceptances are legacy etc., how are the decisions made for the rest of the applicants? There must be so many overlapping GPA/test scores/personal statement quality. Does it pretty much hinge on the interview?

Also, who are interviews with? Local alum, virtual admissions office, other?
