According to numbers from its Common Data Set ,Wesleyan admitted 23.9% in 2014. I can’t find averages published, the midpoints of 25%-75%ile ranges SAT CR+M total 1385.

For the class entering in 1971 ,22% were admitted. Average SAT 1326 old scale which is probably pretty much the same thing.

So, to summarize, back in the 1970s, Wesleyan did in fact, double in size over the space of about 5-6 years with no loss in selectivity. That IMO is no mean feat.
