<p>Thanks happymedium! I'm hoping that we have the same experience. Just hope Wesleyan doesn't penalize us for being late in submitting forms...</p>

<p>What is "The Gatekeepers" and where can I read it?</p>

<p>"The Gatekeepers" is a book by NYTimes rerporter, Jacques Steinberg that goes behind the scenes of the admissions process at Wesleyan. Published in 2002, it is now in paperback:</p>

<p><a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D06E4DC1739F932A0575BC0A9659C8B63%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9D06E4DC1739F932A0575BC0A9659C8B63&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>For a fuller review of the hardback you can go to:</p>

<p><a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A02E3D71139F934A1575AC0A9649C8B63%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A02E3D71139F934A1575AC0A9649C8B63&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>But, the idea for the book had its genesis in a series of articles for the NYTimes. You can access the original articles by subscribing to Times Select (for almost as much as it would cost to buy the whole book):</p>

<p>Sadly, wesleyan's given me one of the worst financial aid package's i've received. Colgate's was better...</p>

<p>I really want to go to wesleyan, but this is going to be a really hard decision because 7k a year adds up to a lot...</p>

<p>Dammit, why do their finaid people not care?</p>
