<p>Hiya :D I also applied to Wes ED, similar stats, not-so-great-grades in tough classes, Jewish from a suburb of NYC. And I'm applying to most of the same schools :P</p>

<p>I'm not sure what your SATs are, which could certainly make a difference... but as I see it... it really depends on various factors. One thing I love about Wes is how much it looks at each person as an individual... so if you had a good interview, have shown a lot of interesting in Wesleyan, wrote essays that say something unique about yourself, that can increase your chances incredibly. :D</p>

<p>I certainly think you have a good shot based on the stats shown, but I guess I dont' know enough about you as a person to really judge. </p>

<p>Here's hoping for both of us!! :X</p>

<p>Hey mentallydrangd,</p>

<p>This is pretty weird, but I'm pretty positive you go to my high school, or went to my elementary school. I went to KES, and currently attend JJHS. </p>

<p>Trevor.</p>

<p>P.S. I think adummb05 was pretty much right on. Keep up the good work, and good luck!</p>

<p>P.P.S. I'm applying to Oberlin College ED, and probably Wesleyan and Brown, among others, if I don't make it, or get deferred.</p>
