<p>I’m in the library supposed to be doing spanish work. Instead, I’m freaking about Wes because I know it’s going to be my first rejection… sigh. :(</p>
<p>For the other Freeman scholar finalists, I sent a mail to Wesleyan and Ms Overton replied with the following:</p>
<p>I apologize for the confusion. Applicants for the Wesleyan Freeman Asian Scholarship are not included in the on-line decision notification system. This is the first year that we are providing electronic notification to general applicants and we decided not to include Freeman candidates until we are sure there are no complications or problems with the system. We mailed decision letters to Freeman Scholarship applicants yesterday. Winners’ packages were sent via courier. We will send an email with the text of the decision letter to Freeman applicants either on Monday or Tuesday (before April 1).</p>
<p>So that’s a few more days of joyous waiting for us!</p>

<p>I am sorry to bring you disappointing news. The admission committee at Wesleyan is unable to offer you admission for the Fall of 2009. I know this decision is not what you had hoped for and want to assure you that we spent a good deal of time evaluating your application, including your essays and your letters of recommendation. </p>
<p>One of the most difficult tasks we have in the Office of Admission is choosing a freshman class from the many talented candidates who apply. Given the keen competition this year, we find we are unable to offer admission to many students who clearly have the ability to succeed and to contribute. </p>
<p>Although we are not able to offer you a place at Wesleyan, I am confident you will do well in the college you choose. The admission staff joins me in wishing you every success. </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p>Nancy Hargrave Meislahn
Dean of Admission and Financial Aid</p>
<p>“I am confident you will do well in the college you choose”</p>
