<p>Do you guys think I could get into Wes? My grades are weak and I could use more awards....but I think i show that I'm really into current events and politics.....any current Wes students have any comments?</p>
<p>Uh...isn't it June now? and too late to take the SATs? Anyway, CR hopefully goes up, and hopefully your gpa will go up to around a 3.9 or higher weighted? btw, are those gpas weighted or not?</p>
<p>Can you post your AP scores and stuff?</p>
<p>Nice SAT IIs! Don't sweat the ECs...a lot better than most....though I wouldn't consider them enough to be a hook...</p>
<p>I'll reserve my judgment until you get your gpa up and post your ap scores, but you do have a shot at Wesleyan, though as for most people, it will be a reach. </p>
<p>P.S. How competitive is your school? Like do you know your general rank? Because right now I see the GPA as your biggest issue.</p>
<p>Ah sorry about the June thing....i cut and paist this from and old post (The SAT grades I posted are from the June test) </p>
<p>my hs is very competitive and send many students to HYPSM and the Ivies</p>
<p>the GPA i posted is Unweighted and my school doesnt calculate weighted(how do you do that? A+ in regents is 4...in honors 4.5...in AP 5?).....as for rank my school doesnt calculate one but i imagine im top 15-20% (based on the size of my schools NHS and the minimum required GPA).....clearly low but as i posted that largely due to low grades frosh year (i wasnt quite as mature as a i should have been frosh year...) </p>
<p>as for AP grades </p>
<p>Euro: 5
US: expected 5
Bio: expected 4 (not a good experience)
Stat: expected 5 (if im very lucky)</p>
<p>gpa=A in normal=4, honors/ap=5.
Good ap grades!
If your weighted gpa is around 3.8, then you will be almost 75th percentile of their admits judging by sat.
I think it is definitely possible, so you should apply.</p>
<p>@PBailey. Do other schools give that many points for AP courses? God I feel really ripped off. I'm sorry for the irrelevant question, but I just wanted to know. By the way, your EC's look amazing and I think your current SAT I's will suffice for Wesleyan.</p>
<p>i know someone who got into wesleyan with (like you) a high but not stellar gpa--but he had really good ECs (which I think yours are too).
If you offer any sort of diversity that could help too...
I'd say go ED and the odds are in your favor</p>
<p>as far as diversity...im a upper middle class, half jewish, suberban kid.....</p>
<p>BUT</p>
<p>does anyone think that my family history could help me out by making my story a little more interesting? </p>
<p>my great grandfather was a fairly notable anarchist around the turn of the century (he was bff with Emma Goldman and what not) and after him one of my great aunts was a life long socialist and another was an organizer for the International Ladies Garment Workers Union....and my dad was a columnist for midsized newspaper for many years </p>
<p>would those things help...idk how id tell them that...prob not in an essay but maybe during an interview?</p>
<p>For people from New York City, getting into Wesleyan is nearly as difficult as getting into Yale. You would have to treat it as a Reach no matter how good your ecs were.</p>
