Wesleyan Transfer

Colleges and Universities A-Z Wesleyan University

Hello! I was accepted as a transfer applicant for the fall of 2017. I am seriously considering going to Wesleyan but have a few questions/concerns and would be so appreciative for feedback of any of these points.

Social life: Is student life at Wesleyan vibrant and active despite being a small school? How well attended are campus events and is the night life at Wesleyan fun/open?

People: Girl to boy ratio; I have heard that there are very few straight guys at Wesleyan- do people find this valid? What is the dating scene at Wesleyan like?

Is making friends easy at Wesleyan? I would be transferring as a junior and Wes only takes 60 transfers each fall meaning there wouldn’t be an extensive transfer community. Also, Wesleyan is significantly more expensive than my current school so if I transfer would have to commute (I live ~15 mins away from Wes) I feel like all of these factors may make it difficult to establish a good group of friends. Can any one speak to the openness/ inclusivity at Wesleyan. Is it the kind of place with approachable people? Is the student body generally friendly?

Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to provide an answer to one or more of these questions. I have to decide by next week so any input is greatly valued and appreciated!

Hey there I’m terribly sorry to hijack your thread, but I was wondering what your college and HS stats/ec’s were, since I’m considering transferring to Wesleyan and I’m not sure what kind of grades folks get in with. Thanks, and I hope someone comes around asap to answer your questions!

Armadillo109 no worries at all! So my highschool stat’s are not fantastic. My HS GPA was a 3.65 with a few honors and AP courses but not a ton. I did not submit SAT scores to Wesleyan as they are not required and side from the subject tests my scores were slightly below their average. My college stats however were much stronger. my college GPA is a 3.9 and I have a volunteer internship at a very prestigious hospital. Hope this helps and good luck!

Did you end up deciding to go to Wesleyan? I’m not sure about the answers to your questions because I’m also a transfer for this fall. I hope someone answers, though!
