Why do you say that? My DC went far through the recruiting process there-ultimately going to the 5C’s but much preferred Wes to AWS.

athletes are mocked universally on campus, which kids don’t experience until they are there. Zero career help from coaches and athletic department - about 25% of senior athletes have jobs at this point, which is pathetic. It showed well during recruiting for my DC too, who chose it over Williams (coach offer there too). In hindsight W&L should’ve been the choice - Wes is brutally full of posers and fake woke trust fund kids

Career help? You mean jobs in sports? Those are the only jobs coaches should help with IMO.

If Wes doesn't have a good old boys sports network of helping athletes get white collar non sports jobs after graduation, i say more power to Wes. Why should someone have a leg up getting a job just because he plays lacrosse?

I agree, sounds like your values don't mesh with Wes.

While both are in New England, campuses are vastly different as well. If your child is interested in both (like our was), visit both and they will vastly prefer one over the other

Not sure how you can draw this conclusion when Tufts doesn’t release ED figures. Leads people to suspect that ED acceptance rates are very high, significantly deflating RD rates (when the vast majority of applications come in).

Wes’s ED acceptance rate is usually around 40% (although probably more like 30-35% this year, based on what they’ve said so far), and RD is usually around 15%.

OK -- perhaps you are not familiar with Google. So, I'll help you out.

Tufts 2027 overall admission rate = 9.5%
https://www.tuftsdaily.com/article/2023/03/tufts-admits-9-5-to-undergraduate-class-of-2027-ef-bf-bc

Wesleyan 2027 overall admission rate = 17.1%
https://www.wesleyan.edu/admission/apply/class-profile.html

It's pretty easy to draw a conclusion based on the data. 51% of Wesleyan's incoming class was admitted via ED. To your point, Tufts doesn't break out ED admissions. But, it's likely not too much higher than that of Wesleyan.

If that were the case, they’d release their numbers, as 51% is pretty normal for NESCACs. Why not be transparent?

It’s “pretty easy to draw a conclusion” that Tufts’ percentage is much, much higher. This information is not available on google; it is based on logic.
