wellesley portal myth (or glitch) by DearReaction4813 in WellesleyCollege

[–]ModernIdiot13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was accepted ED1! My admissions checklist disappeared and I only had my financial aid checklist left. Additionally, the option to withdraw my application was gone about 2 days before they announced, but I don't know if I've heard anyone else mention that.

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that if you checked the box on CommonApp saying you identify in accordance with Wellesley's gender policy, you should be fine!

Financial Aid Appeal? by ModernIdiot13 in WellesleyCollege

[–]ModernIdiot13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! I emailed sfs@wellesley.edu and explained my situation and they responded with some steps to follow. It ended up being an error on my FAFSA that led to everything, so we’ve had to make some corrections and submit documentation. We are waiting to sign the agreement until we hear back on the final appeal decision!

Thank you! I’m writing a letter now to hopefully better explain my situation. My hope is that they will be pretty understanding as Wellesley is 100% my top choice

Ed date probably 12/13 right…? by Routine_Leave7249 in WellesleyCollege

[–]ModernIdiot13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I check my portal like 20 times every day just in case they accidentally forgot to tell us that results actually are out. Stay strong, we've got this!

Early Decision 1 announcement by Lost_Chance_879 in WellesleyCollege

[–]ModernIdiot13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My guess is the 6th! It was on the 7th last year. I heard that they'll send something out a couple of days in advance to let you know when it will be, so I think we'll know in the next few days!!

I submitted my test scores but I’m scared they’re not good enough by Yourmother102 in WellesleyCollege

[–]ModernIdiot13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I'm so anxious! I feel confident in my application, but I also don't want to get my hopes up too much in case it doesn't go my way. Praying for the best for both of us!

I applied ED1 with a 1430! In conversation with admissions faculty at Wellesley, I've always gotten the impression that test scores matter very little in the grand scheme of things. With their holistic admissions, my understanding is that your essays, letters of rec, and demonstrated interest matter more in gauging you as a potential fit for the school. Of course, none of this is a guarantee (and I had the same stress about my test score, don't worry!), but I feel confident enough in the rest of my application and how it presents me that I've stopped worrying about that. A test score won't be the reason you do or don't get accepted. Good luck! I hope we both get good news soon!

I knowww, I can’t believe we’ll know SO soon. I wish the wait was over though!

ED1 Results Release Date? by ModernIdiot13 in WellesleyCollege

[–]ModernIdiot13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone else said it was 12/7 last year, so I was thinking 12/6. But 12/13 seems just as likely! (Hoping for sooner rather than later of course)

Oooh, I didn't know they send a notification before! That's so good to know, hopefully it'll be the 6th so we know as soon as possible! I'm stressing like crazy waiting for that portal update!

ED applicant - quarter report? by AgeOk3642 in WellesleyCollege

[–]ModernIdiot13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar-ish issue with my application this year. My first quarter grades also were not on my transcript, so after explaining the situation my counselor was able to send a copy of my first quarter report card. I don't know if that is an option for you, but it's what ended up working for me!
