<p>Wesleyan’s notification date for ED students is 12/15; for ED II students, it’s 2/15. At which point, if you’re accepted, you’re supposed to withdraw your applications to all other schools, not be hunting around for the best deal. </p>
<p>I don’t know - maybe the OP’s son got an early write from Wesleyan (if any went out this year - no one reported it on CC, if they did). Otherwise, I don’t see how an acceptance in hand from Wesleyan on the day the OP started this thread jives with acceptances at Bard, Lawrence and ASU. Add Grinnell (another ED-only school, where the OP said here <a href=“Whitman vs Oxy vs Pitzer - #10 by cbkeeler - Whitman College - College Confidential Forums”>Whitman vs Oxy vs Pitzer - #10 by cbkeeler - Whitman College - College Confidential Forums; that his son had a large merit scholarship), and an acceptance at Whitman (yet another ED-only school), and the whole story is just too much. So shame on me for wasting my time trying to give an anonymous stranger some assistance. But shame on him, too, for positing an impossible and very possibly unethical scenario.</p>
<p>No one asked me to referee this thread, but it seems to me that the people being scolded here have modeled restrained and adult responses in the face of some pretty insulting posts.</p>
