<p>This Autumn I'm going to take the Literature and Math II SAT IIs and I am considering retaking the SAT I to improve my Critical Reading and Writing scores. Does anyone have any suggestions for improving my application and if I should apply during the Early Decision or Regular Decision periods?</p>
<p>I wouldn't worry too much about your SAT I scores... the median at Wes for the class fo 2011 was 2150 I believe, and your 2220 is, obviously, above that... as for regular or early decision, that is up to you. You have to make that choice that Wes is your #1 and that you will attend if accepted. your EC's are fine. you have just as good a shot as anybody. make sure you convey a passion about something, like music. wes admissions likes passionate, determined people apparently</p>
<p>Thanks. Just to clarify, the only mediums through which I can convey my passion(s) to the admissions officer/board are my essay and interview, right?</p>
<p>I think you'd have a good shot RD, if you decide to go that route, and obviously you'd be fine ED. As smartalic said, make sure it's what you want and that $$$ isn't a determining factor (assuming it's not if you're at a private high school). Your test scores will serve their purpose by indicating how difficult your school is and thereby verifying your GPA's strength. Good luck.</p>
<p>The median SAT for class of 2011 was 2250. But Weslayan admittance is not based on a simple formula, students are not only very smart but also quirky.
It is an exraordinary university!</p>
<p>2250 is way too high. That's more like a 750 on each section when I'm quite sure it was 710/710/720. We're not full of prestige whores like those other universities in the vicinity ;)</p>
<p>opps. you are correct it is 2150. However I know people who scored 2250 and did not get in and several students who scored below 1900 and are in the class of 2011. They are however amazing , well rounded gifted students so Wes is not a cookie cutter school when it comes to admittance.As another poster above stated , passion and liberal politics with a history of community service helps.</p>
