50/50 - your regular (not summer) ECs seem a bit light.
A huge chunk of Wesleyan got in last year TO - but this year that might be more an impediment. Schools are saying it won’t be - but last year, many couldn’t take the test and few can say that this year.
I certainly think the 4.0 combined with ED gives you a legit chance - but I do worry about the lack of EC.
Can you expand upon the club you started - make sure you quantify hours served, how many members you recruited, how many animals you saved, etc.

Wesleyan has been TO since 2014, so I don’t think that will be an impediment. They probably had more TO applicants last year in part b/c fewer applicants took tests in that applicant pool.
I agree. OP needs to lean in on the animal rescue EC. There’s something visceral about the plight of actual living things. It immediately caught my attention.
Thank you!
