Wesleyan University Early Decision 2 acceptance rate?

Considering applying to Wesleyan via Early Decision 2 but curious if the acceptance rate differs from Regular Decision. Does anyone know how competitive it is and what the potential dates might be?

For the intact data, Wesleyan University does not publicly release a specific admission rate for its Early Decision II (ED II) program. However, like most colleges, their overall Early Decision acceptance rate (which includes both ED I and ED II) tends to be higher than the Regular Decision rate due to the commitment associated with an Early Decision application.

In terms of competition, ED II can be somewhat less competitive than ED I simply because it's later in the admission cycle and allows you to make a more informed choice. However, ED II is still binding, meaning you commit to attend if admitted, and you will need to withdraw all other college applications if accepted.

As for potential dates, while specific deadlines can change from year to year, Wesleyan’s ED II application deadline is typically at the beginning of January. The exact date can be found on their admissions website. Decision notifications are often released around mid to late February.

Remember, applying ED II confers the same benefits as ED I, the biggest being a potentially higher chance of acceptance as compared to regular decisions. Ensure you are fully ready to commit to the college and that it aligns well with your academic and financial needs before opting for this route.
