<p>On the website, it says "Wesleyan strongly encourages students to report all of their scores when applying instead of electing to use the Score Choice option." I was wondering if this means you will be at a disadvantage if you use Score Choice? I have pretty good SAT/SAT IIs (2320, 710 US history, 760 Math II), but I also have some pretty dismal other SAT IIs....if they saw them, would they ignore them or whatever?</p>
<p>Also: I am interested in including an arts supplement...I was planning to do the arts supplement through the common app but I see that Wesleyan has their own specific guidelines. Would it be better to send my art to Wesleyan through their own supplement? It's not that much harder or anything, but I'm just wondering what to do...</p>
<p>I would advise you to not use Score Choice. Wesleyan is going to take your best scores anyway, and when they review your file, the only numbers they look at are your best scores. This is the way virtually every college does it, and I have been to several Wesleyan Information sessions on campus with my son last year (he is a freshman at Wesleyan now) and this is the way it was presented there as well. From a practical point of view, keep in mind that each file is reviewed by two admissions officers and they only have about 15-20 minutes each to look at your entire file.</p>
<p>Along the same lines, I would follow to the letter Wesleyan’s specific guidelines for submitting your art portfolio. Many students submit portfolios and doing it in the recommended and standard way is highly preferred. Easier for the admissions officer to get to it and go through it if it is in the way the like to do it, right?</p>
