[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a ridiculous thread. OP seems bored and agitating for a fight [/quote]

I'm OP - definitely bored.  Also excited for my DC and the next week of decisions coming out.  I've never been to Wesleyan and my DC was accepted so I am looking for people's experiences. Don't know where you got "fight", but that's far from the truth and feel free to exit the thread![/quote]

DP. Then why are you asking about prestige? You should be asking about fit, programs and resources. I agree w/ PP about the tone of your OP.

As for Wes, mine got in a couple years ago. I thought it would have been a great fit for my kid, a theatre/math person.  I was impressed with student presentations. Not that impressed with the overall organization of admitted students day -- would have loved more info on clubs/activities and students engaging admits informally. Also didn't care much for the speaker to the parents (Dean? Pres? can't remember who). Campus had some nice features (beautiful library) but also felt a little random architecturally and spatially. Not a fan of the central field. Kid also not a party-er, so a little concern about that aspect, but would have investigated that further if kid felt stronger about campus/programs. [/quote]

Because my kid and I care about prestige, not only prestige, but it is a factor.  That's why. I'd love to know what your DC chose?[/quote]

Final 3 were Brown, Northwestern and Vassar
Kid really loved all 3. Came down primarily to financial aid offered, but also a couple other more technical program factors. Did not apply to Tufts. I can see the draw of prestige, being from a no name school myself,  but try to focus on the tangibles and environment.  Do all the admitted student days. Good luck.[/quote]
