The key thing is that Wesleyan has a network of fraternities, “literary societies” and a sizable student neighborhood adjacent to campus that offers a fairly active and urbane social life. It is also a member of NESCAC wherein it forms a venerable “conference within a conference” with Little Three Little Three - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia cohorts Amherst and Williams.



I feel that Wesleyan has fallen in stature in this decade compared to prior periods and has less in common with Williams and Amherst than it used to. When I was applying, I considered Wesleyan a better school and harder to get into than Bowdoin and Middlebury and now this no longer seems to be the case. I guess this could be an example of a successful implementation of an SAT-optional policy, although get the impression that, at least, Bowdoin may have been doing this long before I was applying to colleges.
