<p>I got in! yay! Anyone else heard anything?</p>
<p>congratulations...i am going RD....</p>
<p>Congrats, WMass, great news! You were concerned about your SAT scores -- would you mind sharing them? How many letters of rec did you end up sending?</p>
<p>Thank you Skie :-) My SATs were 1900 and I sent three letters (2 humanities/social science teachers and 1 science teacher).</p>
<p>My son received his acceptance today. We are ecstatic.Anyone know if parents attend Wesfest? (not that I have cleared this with my son yet as he is planning to attend solo).We are on West coast and feel Wesleyan and our son are a perfect match.Hooray.</p>
<p>My son is a freshman at Wes and was accepted RD. There are programs and seminars for parents but most of WesFest is for the kids. I attended a few workshops and left him overnight -- went to visit friends in CT. Congrats, mamamax.</p>
<p>My daughter received her acceptance packet yesterday. Needless to say she is very excited. We're in Atlanta</p>

<p>Congrats from the mom of a Wes alum! She loved it there!</p>
<p>yes! I got in too.</p>
<p>me too! Does anyone here have a facebook and know if there is a Wesleyan class of 2011 group where we can all start mingling?</p>
<p>was anyone else surprised that they got in? I had a score of 630 on the SAT math section, while the median for the school is at 710 or something like that. I know one score shouldn't affect the entire package, but I guess it gives hope to others out there still applying that these colleges (at least Wes) are not basing admission soley on raw numbers.</p>
<p>Same here, J-Rob--I also scored below Wesleyan's average on the Math SAT. I think it's really cool that they look beyond your numbers and see what kind of person you are. After this whole experience, I get the feeling the interview is really important for Wesleyan, or at least more important than it is at some similar schools.</p>
<p>And there is a facebook group. It's called "Wesleyan Class of 2011" (whoda thunk it?). <a href="http://hs.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2223869858%5B/url%5D">http://hs.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2223869858</a></p>
<p>To the mom wondering about WesFest. You could come and take a tour and visit and whatnot, but he'll probably wander off on his own pretty soon and be perfectly fine.</p>
<p>A note about Wesfest-- The university will not arrange housing for you if you're not RD (it is, after all, a way to entice students that may otherwise choose another school). HOWEVER, this shouldn't discourage you at all, as it's very, very simple to find housing-- Wes students notoriously adore their prefrosh. Many ED students arrange housing with current students through the Wesleyan livejournal community (<a href="http://wesleyan.livejournal.com)%5B/url%5D">http://wesleyan.livejournal.com)</a>, others just show up the day of and find somewhere to sleep. As you're on the West Coast and might be a little nervous about this, contact me and I can help-- I'm female but I live in a fraternity (it's a long story), and I'm sure one of the brothers could help, or he could even just stay with me. <a href="mailto:xsun@wesleyan.edu">xsun@wesleyan.edu</a> </p>
<p>And on that note, PLEASE come to Wesfest, even if you're ED. I had the time of my life as a prefrosh, and here the undergrads get more excited for Wesfest than they do for Christmas.</p>
<p>Thank you kindly for the offer.My son made friends on his overnight visit and they have also offered him accomodations.</p>
<p>just a quick comment-- wesleyan publishes the MEDIAN sat scores. meaning that exactly half of attendees got lower scores than the median. </p>
<p>no need to be surprised you got in!</p>
