This is the official discussion thread for Wesleyan Class of 2027 RD applicants. Ask your questions and connect with fellow applicants.
RD Application Deadline is: January 1
Anyone ready to start stressing out about this?
D23 applied RD, from CA. We visited Wes last summer. She’s interested in their Film/TV program. Other than being kinda famous and highly ranked, can anyone provide more personal anecdotes about that program?

My S23 is just ready for the RD notifications to start coming in (Wesleyan among them)! These next 6-8 weeks will be long.
Good luck to your daughter!

Did everyone receive the email to join the Wesleyan Wisr Network? I just found it in my spam folder and I’m wondering what it’s all about.

Daughter received it back in October. Looks like it’s a student community for prospective and admitted students to get info from attending students. It has different “communities” they can join and explore. Can connect with other students (admitted or current), staff, alumni, etc.

Have any legacy applicants received an email from Wes making note of that? My daughter did get an email like this from admissions 4 years ago. My son this year has not. I’m wondering if they have stopped sending this. The past email was very general-- something along the lines of acknowledging ties to Wes, etc.
hi i scheduled an interview with wesleyan on 3/7/2023 and im wondering if it will be considered in my admissions for rd. im not sure if this interview will be considered in my rd application but im hoping it will. does anyone know?
TBH, I don’t think interviews are given a lot of weight in the Wesleyan admissions process. Just consider the experience as an opportunity to connect with another person, someone with some knowledge about the school and you’ll be fine.

I think we’re all getting antsy waiting on these late March decision release dates. I wish all colleges would announce ahead of time when the decision date would be. In other words, I haven’t heard anything

FYI for anyone else waiting on Wesleyan, we confirmed with our admissions officer for D23 that Saturday March 25th is the “planned” release date - not a “for sure” date, but when they expect to release decisions.

I got in early decision and your application seems amazing (more buffed out than mine). How good do you think your essay was?

I heard about the 25th decision date on the admitted and prospective students network when asking about wesfest. Should we add this date onto the 2027 regular decision calendar thread?

Then its really a gamble. You seem to be in range but it’ll probably depend on your essays (and the person reading your application)
