I guess I can take solace in the full ride I got to Washington and Lee, which does take the sting off of it slightly, but I was really hoping for a school closer to home. To the guys accepted: congrats! how likely are you to attend?

martinez15 · March 28, 2011, 5:46am

Damn congrats on that redguard! Well, I’m STILL WAITING on Boston College’s decision (one of my other top choices) but apparently, they sent out rejection emails to some of my classmates (one of them being my closest friends). So if I get rejected from BC, I think Wesleyan will be my top choice =) I’ll hopefully be seeing you all in the Fall!

Did Wes accept any internationals asking for financial support this year? Doesn’t seem like so…

[li] why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: No interview. Very stupid of me. I never really showed my interest in Wes. [/ul][/li]
**general comments: I should have interviewed. At a school with no supplemental essay, it’s absolutely essential. Also, I should have been on the academic team all four years. I just joined in December, and my team was the regional champ for the first time ever. We were third at states, by far the best we’ve ever done. It’s so much fun, and maybe my essay would have been better if I could have written about it.

I’m so bummed about all this. I feel like all my hard work over the past four years has been a complete waste. Luckily, Wesleyan was not my top choice.**

redguard117 · March 29, 2011, 7:02pm

thanks martinez! Haha its funny you mention BC, because I actually got an acceptance letter there despite technically not having applied. I submitted my supplement and application fee, but not my main common app thing, and then I pretty much immediately withdrew my application and got a refund (since BC doesn’t offer FA to non permanent residents). Yet, somehow, I got the letter a few days ago. Something to tell the grandkids about I guess haha

“Back when I was a kid, I got into colleges I didn’t even apply to!” xD even if it is stretching the truth

general comments:

Although my GPA isn’t special at all, my grades in my junior year were stellar. Also, even though my SAT Scores seem low, the average SAT score at my school is about a 1400 and only six kids in my graduating class scored higher than I did on the SAT (no one above a 1900)

I got rejected from every Ivy League school I applied to. I’m happy it turned out that way, because Wesleyan has a better undergraduate education. Ivy League is what it is – a sports league. And on top of that, I was awarded $54,000 in Financial Aid for Wesleyan!

Yes to Wes class of 2015!

general comments:
Cannot decide between Penn, Middlebury, Caltech, and Wesleyan. Any suggestions?

^^Penn non-Wharton doesn’t hold a candle to Wesleyan; Midd is too far north; if it comes down to Caltech and Wesleyan, your stats should make it unnecessary to go to a strictly tech school in order to meet your career goals.
