<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Has anyone been accepted through the Accelerated Admission plan? Can you tell me more please? Was it harder to stand out? I am considering it because I don't really like my high school. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>"Accelerated Admission
You can apply for admission to Wellesley during your junior year in high school by applying under the Regular Decision plan. You must complete your application by January 15 and demonstrate the academic and personal maturity necessary to compete with other Regular Decision candidates."</p>
<p>I was really not aware that Wellesley had this plan, I only thought it had ED/EE/RD.</p>
<p>My guess is that you are compared to other RD candidates, who are all seniors. I think that it would be quite difficult to stand out, as you would need to demonstrate knowledge of what your academic direction is going to be.</p>
<p>I say finish high school, stick it out. I don't think your reason for applying AA is quite justified. Try and enjoy your high school years! They'll be over before you know it.</p>
<p>I second what catsushi said.</p>
<p>Unless you're very accelerated and have accomplished four years' worth of work in three years, I doubt you'd be accepted. Even if you are accepted, it might be awkward to be a year younger than your classmates and to not have gone through some of the same things (prom, graduation, etc) as them.</p>
<p>I'd recommend trying to make the best of your high school experience. I know a lot of people who hated it during Freshman and Sophomore year, but found it a lot better after that. If you really hate it, you could consider transferring to another high school or taking Community College classes.</p>
<p>Yes, I think this plan is for the really really advanced students who've maxed out on their courseload and have no more classes at their level in high school. So unless this is the case for you, I'd avoid AA. If you just want to get out of high school, I think that you would have a tough time if you were accepted into Wellesley through the AA plan because you'd be younger, there'd be a huge jump in the difficulty and rigour of the curriculum from high school to college etc.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>Another member of this forum, Bustles, might be applying this year as a junior. Perhaps you could help each other out?</p>
