[quote=Anonymous]I sincerely hope nobody takes seriously any of the comments that are made on this board about college admissions.

Wesleyan would be lucky to get someone in the bottom half of Sidwell's class? I would love to hear how someone with access to Sidwell's Naviance (if they share it with parents) would respond to that.

Last year Wesleyan admitted 24% of its 9390 applicants. This year, their applications shot up to a record 12,026. If they admit the same number of students as last year, their acceptance rate (not yet announced) will be under 19%.

My son was accepted there this year. He hadn't visited before being accepted and applied on his counselor's recommendation. After touring, it turned out it wasn't for him - they are definitely pushing themselves as the New England SLAC for the arts. I think that's a great niche, and lines up with the current repute of alumni like the composer and star of "Hamilton," the creator of "Mad Men," Michael Bay and Joss Whedon, etc.

To me, Tufts is the most pre-professional SLAC. Not even really a SLAC, more a university, but people still think of it alongside the other NESCAC schools. Again a great niche, if that's what you're looking for.[/quote]
