Hey all! Didn’t see any thread for specifically Wesleyan transfer hopefuls, so I thought I’d get the ball rolling.
I’m looking to transfer from Sarah Lawrence College. I’m also applying to Brown and William & Mary.
Here are some of my stats:
College GPA: 3.9 (projected, calculated by myself through a form given by the college. Grades aren’t a big thing here. It’s all about the written evaluations teachers give at the end of the semester)
HS GPA: 3.98
Chose to not submit standardized test scores.
AP: Comp Sci 5; English Lit 5; Euro History 4; Calc BC 5; Gov 4
High School ECs:
Editor of Literary Magazine
Organizer in French Club
Black Belt in Karate (also teaching classes)
Archery
Guitar Lessons
Soroptomist Award
College ECs:
Martial Arts Club (Self-Defense Leader)
Christian Union
Screenwriter’s Workshop
Yoga classes
Rock Climbing Club
Recommendations:
Writing Prof / Adviser
Latin Prof
Reasons for Transferring:
The school I’m at currently doesn’t have majors and only 3 classes a semester, so my studies are in Writing, Latin, and Anglo-Saxon Lit currently (and a film class last semester). Would love to explore archaeology and medieval studies which SLC doesn’t have much of. Socially, SLC has a small campus and student body. Not quite enough diversity for my taste.
Best of luck to all applying!

@themetamorphosis May 15th is what the Transfer Q&A says. @cassiusklay Welcome and best of luck!
I spoke with admissions on the phone and they advised me that my decision would be available May 13 at 3:00 pm
@HIMYM17 Just curious, do you know if you find out two days earlier than the date posted because of where you live? Or any other spec?
@actvalour it’s the date that they give on the website! may 13th!
still Wednesday at 3:00? any hope for tomorrow?
just posted. I got accepted. Anyone else?
@shoost12 i was just accepted as well! unfortunately i will not be attending 
I’m in, but not attending.
Congrats to those accepted! I was waitlisted and am not waiting until the end of June to find out. Good luck to those attending or still waiting for results from Wesleyan or other schools!
@actvalour I’m really surprised you didn’t get in.
@cassiusklay Eh, no worries. Never know what sort of class they’re trying to build.
