[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wesleyan requires that one recommendation is from STEM teacher [/quote]

The wording on their site is “you are encouraged.” So not required.

“You are encouraged to submit one from a humanities, social sciences, or foreign language teacher and one from a math or science teacher”[/quote]

So let’s get this straight.  You’re suggesting that a student with no strong stem classes, no test scores, and no recommendation from a stem teacher even though it is “encouraged” has more than a snowball’s chance in hell at getting into one of the most selective liberal arts colleges in the country?

Ok.

Don’t quit your day job. [/quote]

Amen. People on this board think the only tough SLAC admits are WASP. Keep thinking you can breeze in to Wes during RD TO with a bunch of Bs or weak rigor as compared to what is offered at your school. [/quote]

This isn't true. It's not that strong an applicant pool in ED. Wes's ED acceptance rate is around 40% and they fill more than half the class in that round. The kids I know who were admitted are great kids but they are not ultra strong applicants. RD is a different story.[/quote]
