Wow I just got accepted!!!!

<p>Williams is a great college-- I think it’s still ranked 1st over Amherst! =). I’d assume that if Williams accepts you, Wesleyan would too though. Good luck.</p>

<p>I certainly hope Wesleyan accepted me! I’ll probably attend Williams regardless, but I would certainly at least consider attending Wes!</p>

<p>Accepted long ago in NJ/NYC. I seriously didn’t expect to be accepted by Wes, but I was. :slight_smile: It was a pleasant surprise, and it still is. I love this school! Let me tell you-- this school is VERY difficult to get into. I know a girl who (I believe) took 6 APs, just as I did, and was rejected. By the way, I don’t know how much the following will help prospectus applying for the Fall 2008 term, but here I go: </p>
