What the numbers say about Wesleyan

The reported middle 50% spans 240 points, from 890 to 1130. A planning score near or above 1170 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
The reported section midpoints are 510 Reading and Writing and 520 Math. Use the lower section as the first place to look for recoverable points in your own score split.
The Scorecard snapshot reports a 72% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
Reported outcomes include a 47% completion rate and $46,747 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
