<p>Where do you find these stats?</p>
<p>These stats are published in the NY Times Education blog, The Choice. Updated almost daily.</p>
<p>Yes, Smartalic, that is right, 515, not 505 ED 1 apps. I recently particpated in a forum of eight parents around the US who were interviewed by a researcher who is studying the parents of high school seniors who are going through the application process at various colleges. I was a bit surprised at how critical the other parents were about the supposed “extremely liberal” atmosphere of Wesleyan. I was the only parent who has a kid applying there, and I did take issue with some of their comments. Wesleyan still has an image among certain segments of our society that its campus environment is “over the top”. As a Wes alum who has maybe better information than the general public, I really take issue with that perception, because I think it is inaccurate. I wonder if there will be some impact on the volume of applications this year.</p>
<p>does anyone know when results come out?</p>
<p>ED I applicants are notified online on December 15th</p>
<p>i heard that last year they found on on monday, the 12th
and in 2008 they found out on friday, the 11th
Wes says “BY December 15th”</p>
<p>i am FREAKING OUT. half of me is telling myself that i’m a really strong Wes applicant, and my GC wants me applying to more competitive schools. the other half is reminding me that this process is such a crapshoot. i have NO IDEA where i’ll go if i don’t get into Wes. ;alsjdg;skjf;dgkjas;dklfgj FREAKING OUT!!</p>
<p>eloiseee, i saw you on one of the old threads. i’m guessing you got in. how is it?? :)</p>
<p>^^ i feel exactly the same way…on the one hand i think they should be thrilled to have me, on the other, i know there are people with better GPAs and that like you said, it’s a total crapshoot and they reject tons of qualified people every year. and yeah- i like the other schools on my list, but i can find faults with each…and i have no faults with wes…</p>
<p>i think i’d be really happy at a bunch of other schools, but my RD schools are really all over the place, and Wes is the only school that i loved more than anywhere else. i’m also applying to columbia, dartmouth, tufts, and northwestern, plus some super-safeties. where are you guys applying RD?</p>
<p>halestrom, i am totally with you! at this point i just want to know as soon as possible, just so i can know and have all the stress over with. there are some days where i feel like i’m definitely going to get in, and on others i feel like i was foolish to even apply and that the process these days is just ridiculous. :8 the fifteenth can’t come soon enough, although i hope we find out earlier!</p>
<p>yeah, DO we find out the fifteenth? the website says by the fifteenth, which could mean on or it could mean before. also if you go to “online decision notification” under “applying to wesleyan,” it says that they’ll post the dates for decisions. and they haven’t yet. lajfdlkajfldka i just want to know…</p>
<p>“i heard that last year they found on on monday, the 12th
and in 2008 they found out on friday, the 11th”</p>
<p>From the prior posts on this subforum, people were hearing on Friday afternoon, both years.</p>
<p>geez, i hope we hear on the 10th, that would be amazing!</p>
<p>oh hey, i just realized that my dates and days are wrong . . . i blame my guidance counselor. i thought that we’d find out on the monday before, but this friday would be so amazing. my dad said he’d call the admissions office tomorrow to see what he can find out - at least that way we’ll have a date!</p>
<p>Friday the 10th is the end of this coming school week. let the hyperventilation commence…</p>
<p>i applied early as well! So nervous/excited! and finding out by the 10th would be awesome</p>
<p>yes, but what if we assume we will hear this friday, and then have to wait another 5 days? now THAT is agony - and i know at this point i cannot concentrate on anything else because all i can think about is wesleyan.</p>
<p>oh, i know! i keep telling myself that i haven’t heard yet, they very well could be waiting for the fifteenth to release the decisions. but i’m still wicked anxious - i have boatloads of work to be doing and i cant concentrate on any of it! :8</p>
<p>oh my GOD friday the 10th is so soon. i’d much prefer it to come out on the 15th…i have two term papers due on monday the 13th and i know i won’t be able to focus on them, whether i get in or get rejected…i’ll either be elated and have no motivation to work, or devastated and have doubly no motivation to work. i need that weekend barrier!!
then again, i just want to know…</p>
<p>oh wow, i am having the same problem!!! i have like 3 tests tomorrow, and all i can do is check the website repeatedly…</p>
