[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was the PP who said Wesleyan has a higher admit rate - I meant this in reference to the OP's query about Bowdoin, Swarthmore, and Williams, which each admitted fewer than 10% of applicants last year. That wasn't meant as a criticism. I think Wesleyan is a fantastic school and would have liked for my kid to apply. In the end he got in ED to another one of the schools in the 20:29 post. All great schools![/quote]

I'm the poster at 20:29.  I agree - Wesleyan is a great school and we know some really smart kids who are there now.  On paper it looked like a great option on paper for my DS (plus one of his favorite high school teachers had gone there) but when we visited it just didn't feel right to him (not a criticism of the school at all).  I think it could be a great fit for our other son but may be too difficult to get into in 3 years. My DS ended up at one of the other schools on that list, too.  He could have been happy at a number of them.  [/quote]
