Not really. Aside from the letter indicating the strength of your interest, you have already made your best case.
Most activity on the waitlist will start in early June, once we have heard from all the students we have admitted. However, there is an inevitable “ripple effect” when other colleges go to their waitlists and some of those who deposited at Wesleyan choose to accept an offer of admission from another institution. These waves can go on until the end of July. We notify all those still waiting as soon as we know that we will not admit any more people from our waitlist.
If you originally applied for financial aid and your application is complete, you will be able to view your financial aid package online as soon as your offer of admission is posted. Please make sure all of the required financial aid documents have been submitted before May 1.
Yes, you may. Whether you're looking to visit in-person or virtually, you may consider all of our options to visit Wesleyan.
