<p><em>i know my scores arent the greatest... do i have an ok shot? let me know if you need to know more</em> thanks so much</p>

<p>Wesleyan is one of the most popular LACs among African Americans (over 500 applicants last year) and consequently, one of the most selective -- only about 30% of all black applicants were accepted for the most recent freshman class-- nearly the same rate as for whites. That said, I think you are a solid candidate. If Wesleyan is on your wish list, I would definitely apply.</p>

<p>what's a 95.7 uw on a 4.0 scale? </p>

<p>i think you look great w/ all those ec's.</p>

<p>probably between 3.8-4.0</p>

<p>only he can really figure that out...because it is possible to get a couple 100s and an 80 and wind up with that GPA. know what i mean? my guess is 3.9something.</p>

<p>I think they're pretty good, read "The Gatekeepers" for more info (about Wes admissions), btw, what hs do you come from??</p>

<p>townsend harris. do you go the school in the city?</p>
