<p>A white male with no sports tips or legacy would need at least a 2200 to make ED worthwhile at Wesleyan. Also, it sounds as if you may be applying for fin/aid which makes applying ED anywhere somewhat problematic; you wouldn't have a chance to compare awards from other colleges once you're accepted under ED from any achool. That being said, I think you would still stand a healthy chance in the RD pool as men in general have about a 100 point SAT handicap over women who are admitted from the same RD pool (in other words, 2100=2200.) It's unfair, but, true. My perception is that the same would be true for all the above colleges, except Williams.</p>
