What are my chances?

Touche. My hook is the music. If they actually received and listened to my CD, that could make the difference in the end. I believe that these schools choose applicants based on what they can offer to a program. My GPA falls in the median, and my SATs are significantly lower than average. Therefore, I need one thing to make me stand out: music and extracurriculars. Unfortunately, my biggest musical accomplishment came after I applied :-/ Oh well. If admissions holds to their word, I’d like to think I have a chance.

Hmm… I went to the 3-week course from July 13- August 1st this past summer (if that helps at all). I’m not exaggerating, it was the best three weeks of my life. The diversity of the student body was really attractive and there was such a sophisticated, yet, non-arrogant attitude among students. I’d bet that you agree with me. Nothing better than Thayer Street. I applied to Brown as well, but I have even more doubt than I do for Wesleyan. Hopefully the program, recommendation from my Brown professor, and personal connection pay off. Thats a long shot :-)
