Chance me! Unique Applicant

Colleges and Universities A-Z Wesleyan University
1

<p>GPA Not applicable
Rank Not applicable
ACT- 27 (28 23 31 24) I know, they're terrible
AP Scores- US- 4
Rejected from BC but I had sent them a lower ACT score.</p>

<p>Recommendations: Strong. I'm pretty close to one of my recommenders and both teachers know how I work.</p>

<p>Essays: Good, wrote about moving but in a creative way. Other essay, I wrote about the importance of art in my extracurriculars
Counselor Recommendation: Strong, I assume. She has really helped me grow and I think we share a bond.</p>

<p>Freshmen and Sophmore year: I attended a school in Europe, where I was living at the time. They used IB scaled grades. I got pretty good grades but it's hard to translate them to the letter grading system here in the States, so the "grades" on my transcript is not accurate and I have written to BC about it in my common app and my counselor has supplied copies of transcripts in her counselor statement forms.
EC's are practically nonexistent due to the fact volunteer work is limited. I got more involved in volunteering at the end of my sophomore year (I volunteered in a daycare system). Clubs were non existent in the school I attended my freshmen year. The school I attended my sophomore year had more clubs.</p>

<p>Junior Year:
Attend a competitive public school in NC
IB Candidate (obviously..)
Hardest classes in school
Only one AP since I was taking IB classes- 4 on APUS (everyone thinks this is pretty odd considering I never took US Civics)
Had to learn a new language (French)
Very strong EC's -

<p>My first take is that I would not consider you to have a great chance of admission. Your ACT score is quite a bit below what average admits have had in the last few classes. But I did not read your entire application as two admissions officers will. Wesleyan looks at the total candidate, not just what you have listed. And they look at the mix of students they have already admitted on ED 1 and then ED 2 and try to fill in the gaps in terms of majors and interests, etc. No one here can give you really reliable advice so I would say just apply, give it your best shot and see what happens. Best of luck!</p>
