Wesleyan U was not ranked in College Factual's Best Overall Colleges report this year. This may be because not enough data was available.
With an acceptance rate of 14%, Wesleyan U is one of the most selective schools in the country. Good grades and high test scores alone may not be enough to get you into the school, so do your best to submit a stellar application.

The student to faculty ratio is often used to measure the number of teaching resources that a college or university offers its students. The national average for this metric is 15 to 1, but at Wesleyan U it is much better at 7 to 1. That's good news for students who want to interact more on a personal level with their teachers.
In addition to the student to faculty ratio, some people look at what percentage of faculty members are full-time as a sign of how much time professors will be able to spend with their students. This is because part-time teachers may not be be on campus as much as their full-time counterparts.
The full-time faculty percentage at Wesleyan University is 90%. This is higher than the national average of 47%.

Students are considered to have graduated on time if they finish their studies within four years. At Wesleyan U the on-time graduation rate of first-time, full-time students is 87%. That is great when compared to the national average of 33.3%
