<p>Hi Wes forum, I posted a few days back with my son's creds, and some of you saw Wes as a good fit for him, others saw it as a major reach. First I want to thank you for your thoughts which helped us ground ourselves. I welcome further thoughts on that issue of course, sort of bumping my own thread.</p>
<p>But I also just want to comment that my son finally understands the notion of fit. Wesleyan is the perfect fit for him for so many reasons, which I will only go into if you are somehow interested. It was qualitatively different from other visits, including several at very fine places.</p>
<p>Anyway, he loved it, the students were just like him, and he is bubbling with excitement about making his best case through the application process. He knows it may be a reach, and I think he is just happy to let Wesleyan make that decision. But the process is so positive and I just wanted to report that.</p>
I was just like, “Oh… oh, THIS is the kind of college I want to go to.” And I applied ED and had an amazing four years!</p>
