@callmeLENNY Where did you gleen those stats from? Also, question for all you students: The Wesleyan packing lists suggests an iron and ironing board. How many of you actually iron? ;))
@Meddy counselors received an email from Admissions with these stats. btw I am a current student.
i do have a whole ironing package haha
She can also take the ACT.
Crisis in our house right now as D18 accepted to Wesleyan and Prom is during WesFest! Dress is bought and plan is to go with friends. Dad and I tried to put it all in perspective- these are problems of abundance. I need you all to chime in with your wisdom and advice :-/ Go to Prom or WesFest?
@Meddy Is she definitely going to Wes? If so, I’d say prom would be the way to go. If she’s debating between some schools, that’d be a tougher call.
My daughter, who is now a 2nd year at Wes, had similar issue. Wes was happy to have her visit the week after Wesfest instead, and she did an overnight, went to classes etc. and got the feel for a more typical couple of days at Wes? She also overnighted at Tufts during their accepted student day, and liked that less. Would urge your daughter to go to her prom and go to Wes a different time. FYI my daughter is thriving there and we can highly recommend the school.
@odannyboySF She has not visited and will need to before signing on the dotted line
@Meddy When is prom? My D is arriving Wesfest late Tuesday night, visiting Wednesday and a bit of Thursday and leaving late Thursday afternoon to fly back to West Coast. Her prom is Saturday.
@ClassOf2018P It is Friday night. Saturday would have been so much better, but they never ask me 
@LibbyOK I love that your daughter was able to skip the planned event and still made the decision to attend. It seems like such a great place!
@meddy Isn’t WesFest Wednesday-Thursday? She should be able to go at least for Wednesday, stay overnight, and head home and be back in time for prom Friday?
@odannyboySF Yes, but they offered her a travel voucher and no late arrivals or ducking out [-X
D didn’t do Wesfest either; we’re on the west coast. She was a recruited athlete and had her official visit as a substitute for that experience. But before that visit, she had that legendary “this is it” moment the second she stepped foot on campus, which happened at dusk after we had snuck away from another official visit at a peer school in Boston.
She’s a junior now, and I can’t say enough about how happy she’s been (and we’ve been) with her experience. She was in the fortunate position to have a lot of offers, and has not regretted choosing Wesleyan for one minute.
Physics/Astro double major and varsity athlete. The Wes astro department in particular could not be more devoted to their students if they tried. Truly a fantastic group of scholars.
Older sister graduated from Cal. Younger sister is at another LAC.
Good for your daughter on her Wesleyan admission. It’s not getting easier.
@jgargery I love that your D selected Wesleyan and as a parent you know that she is very happy with her choice. We feel very blessed to have an offer from Wesleyan and she is pretty thrilled! How do I know? She passed on Prom. Not without a bit of sadness, but I imagine WesFest looked better than any dance/ after party she’s been to in High School :-c ← Sorry, I’m just loving these emojis!
@Meddy Now THAT is commitment to her education!
@Meddy , I think of my three girls, D at Wes would have skipped prom too if there had been a significant Wes conflict. . She didn’t dislike HS by any means, mind you, but Wesleyan has been by far the more significant experience for her. She has really found her people there. I hope the same for your D.
@jgargery You confirmed it for me. We found the perfect dress and I want her to be a kid still, but those high school dances never seem to live up to the hype for her. Just like your D, I hope and pray she finds her people and her passion in college. Hey, and maybe she can wear the dress to a special event in college since it’s beautiful, but not totally Prommy <:-P
