<p>My son is planning to submit an arts supplement and the slideroom site says a wes id is required. How do we get one? I can't find anything on the Wes website about how to get a wes id. Does he have to submit the common app in order to get one? Will it be emailed to him?
Thanks!</p>
<p>Did your S interview at Wes? My D got a Wes ID upon scheduling an interview last summer. There was also a postcard after scheduling the interview that had the Wes ID on it. Then all subsequent mail to her had the Wes ID on it (including generic PR type mailings). Have your son check any mail received and/or previous e-mails from Wes and maybe he already has the ID and just doesn’t know it? </p>
<p>If that doesn’t work, I would have your S complete and submit the common app (and I believe that there is a space to indicate that you plan to submit an arts supplement?). You will certainly get a Wes ID once they receive the app. I would also e-mail the admissions office and let them know the situation/problem and that your S will submit the arts supplement via slideroom as soon as he gets the ID. I suspect they will still accept Jan 2.</p>
