<p>Your ECs sound fantastic and your SAT II is, of course superlative. You are certainly competitive for Wesleyan. The problem, as with all internationals, is that you would be competing even more heavily for financial aid which is not need-blind. So, rather than give you a strict chances answer (High-Reach, Mid-Reach, Low-Reach, etc.) I’ll offer a cost/benefit analysis: if you can afford the application, it’s worth applying. You seem to have a lot to offer Wesleyan and it would be a fantastic experience for you. (Sorry, if that sounds too vague for a chances thread – but, seriously, apply if you can.)</p>
