[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved Wes. My DS did not. It skews heavily female and presents as super artsy. Regardless of the reality, that is what we took from the tour. And, the increasing admit rate reflects this.[/quote]

Hard to wade through the incongruity of this post. I’m an era where most private schools struggle mightily with gender balance, Wes’s 53/47ish split is pretty impressive. And yes, while Wes does have some arts programs of not that kids definitely choose the school for, the most popular majors are things like Econ, bio, neuroscience, etc. None of those things have any direct bearing on any increase in admissions rate, which I don’t think has been outside historical trends. So, not sure if you’re just trolling or if you are just mistaken. Maybe you’re thinking about Vassar. [/quote]
Even harder to wade through your ignorance:

40% male in most recent class and admit rate increased. You’re welcome.[/quote]

Um, I think you’re having difficulty reading that chart. The balance hasn’t been that off since the class of 2024. The classes of 25-28 have been 53/47 or better.

Also, here is a link to an article about the class of 2029 which shows historical admissions trends. Yes, the admissions rate did rise by .2 percent this year, but as the data shows, it is not a high water mark of the past 10ish years. And again, I fail to see what that .2% increase has to do with what you perceive to be as a campus that is too artsy or the gender imbalance typical of most colleges and universities.
