[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had two relatives really like Tufts.  It has a nice campus life, but also easy access to Boston.  Don't know much about Wesleyan, but I tend to think of it as a small step below Tufts.[/quote]

You are totally wrong. Wesleyan is one of the top slacs. It's on a par with Williams and Amherst. Very difficult to get in. Tufts is also hard to get in, but not nearly as prestigious as Wesleyan. Both are excellent schools though. [/quote]

While I will not argue with your statement that both are excellent schools - they are. I have to take issue with your claiming Wesleyan is either academically or competitively on par with Williams and Amherst. That’s just misinformation.  [/quote]

Wesleyan is an excellent LAC. It is definitely not on par with Williams or Amherst, or with Ponoma or Carleton.[/quote]

What does "on par" mean?  If you you look at admitted student stats you see substantial overlap.  Placement of graduates looks fairly similar too. Wesleyan is something like 40 or 50 percent larger and is slightly less selective, but it is still very selective.  The athletes seem pretty similar at all of those colleges mentioned.  The art, theater and music opportunities seem strongest at Wesleyan.[/quote]
