ED 1 *OFFICIAL* thread

<p>The one whose subject was: Wesleyan ED1 Online Decision Notification</p>

<p>and then the body of the email was like “is on friday.”
I died. </p>

<p>Check your spam filter. thats were mine was.</p>

<p>nice call purple! i would’ve never have found that haha</p>

<p>do any of you guys have legacy at wes?</p>

<p>i’m legacy :slight_smile: they sent me a letter that said it wouldn’t help though.</p>

<p>A year ago my whole family was twisting in the wind waiting for the ED notification, so looking at this thread brings back some not very pleasant memories. (By the way, S got the same email notification and had the same reaction – almost had a heart attack until he read and discovered it was only telling him when and where to check). It ended up working out for S, but he had MANY friends (indeed, his three best friends) who were rejected or deferred at their first choice schools. Without exception, each one of those friends has landed well, and today are very happy where they are. So while I wish you all the best of luck, I also want to emphasize that the admissions process is not a referendum on your value as a student, or a person, and there is not just one perfect school for anyone. Try your very best to take it all in stride and know that you are all exceptional people and one day in the not so distant future, this horrible week will be remembered only as a little blip. Best of luck this week, and beyond.</p>

<p>Thank you Pickwick.
I’m sure things will work out for our S and D</p>

<p>This financial aid stuff is stressing out… Only three more das</p>

<p>I’m a legacy and I didn’t feel like the letter was that negative…</p>

<p>I don’t know. Maybe I was just in freaking out mode.</p>

<p>Completely understandable. That is my current state too.</p>

<p>“We will also be mailing offers of admission to approximately 260 other new students admitted in Early Decision Round 1; in your packet you will find information about an Admitted Student Facebook page so you can begin to get to know your new classmates.”</p>

<p>^ that was in my admitted students email. So there are around 270 of us thus far!</p>

<p>I really hope my name is one of those 270 students! What else did the admitted students email say charlieb? Was the first word congratulations? What did they say next? OMG I’M SO NERVOUS! :(</p>

<p>Are decisions already out?</p>

<p>Yeah it was very much a congratulations/touch base email. They accepted around 260 EDI plus the 13 of us from Questbridge.</p>

<p>373 were admitted out of 842 applications last year in ED. Assuming the numbers this year are relatively similar to last year’s, is it normal that ED1 made up 72% of all of the ED admits?</p>

<p>^Are you sure that is only ED1?</p>

<p>Take a look at this document:

<p>Wait i am so confused by these numbers. If they accepted 13 from quest bridge, does that mean they are only admitting 283 early early decision? ALSO DOES THIS MEAN THEY ALREADY KNOW AND ARE JUST TORTURING US??!?!?!?!?</p>

<p>ok this is frustrating.</p>

<p>I thought the exact same thing PSS! Why can’t they just tell us now? I can’t concentrate and study and study for my quantum physics test :/</p>

<p>“Do the questions interest you as much as the answers? Do you tend to see unexpected connections between the things you are studying? Interested in many subjects? Dive deeply into some? Are you dedicated to making the world around you better?”
YES YES YES YES AND YES!!!</p>
