Wait List Acceptance Rate

Wesleyan University's wait list acceptance rate for the application year 2024 stands at 4.8%, with 108 students accepted out of 2,267 offered a spot. This marks an increase from the previous year (2023), where only 2.9% of 2,754 wait listed applicants were admitted. Historically, the acceptance rate has fluctuated, with rates of 4.8% for both 2022 and 2024, but significantly lower at 2.4% for 2021 and just 0.6% for 2020. These trends illustrate a more favorable outcome for wait listed students in recent years, particularly when compared to the challenging acceptance rates prior to 2022.
