Admission Notification Students will be notified of their admission status according to the timeline stipulated in the application option under which they choose to apply. The Admissions Committee thoroughly reviews each file. One of the following decisions may be made on a student’s application for admission: 1. Acceptance: An offer of admission is extended to an applicant and will be kept open until the candidate’s reply date stipulated in the Early Decision or Regular Decision application options. The Committee reserves the right to withdraw an offer of admission if new information, such as a final transcript, is inconsistent with credentials submitted with the student’s application materials for admission. 2. Conditional Acceptance: An offer of admission is extended to an applicant who may not meet the standard admission requirements. The Admissions Committee may accept a student with conditions they must adhere to in order to enroll. 3. Denial: The Admissions Committee encourages all students to pursue their educational and career-related goals. Furthermore, it recognizes the process of selecting students for admission cannot predict perfectly students’ level of academic ability and motivation or general fit with a college. The Committee, however, cannot offer admission to all students in a competitive pool of applicants. 4. Hold: The Committee may elect to postpone a decision of acceptance or denial by requesting that an applicant first submit additional information such as an updated transcript, new standardized test score, or additional letter of recommendation, or arrange an interview with a designated member of the Wesleyan College community. 5. Waitlist: Some competitive applicants may be offered an opportunity to be on a waiting list for admission. If the first-year class is not filled by the May 1 candidates’ reply date offers of admission may be extended to students on the waiting list. Students who accept a place on the waiting list will be updated on their admission status in mid-May and, if necessary, every two-four weeks thereafter. Note: The College reserves the right to change policy. Students should contact the Office of Admission or refer to current publications for updated information on programs and policies.
