ACT score

<p>What act score (1-36) do I need to stand a good chance at Wellesley? What should I be aiming for?</p>

<p>Based on this page, I would say 30. However, if you look at the SAT data, even having over 750 on the math gives you a 56% chance of getting in so don't treat that as gospel. Just get the best ACT score you are capable of getting.</p>

<p>I got rejected w/ a 34....It's YOU they're going to accept/reject, not your ACT score</p>

<p>terrarumOrbis - did you have SAT IIs? what was your GPA and ECs?</p>

<p>I'm not a standard acceptee/rejectee. I graduated high school in 2.5 years and had a lot of courses from cc/local university. I didn't get into Wellesley [WL] & I got rejected from some low ranking school, but I got into Colgate. It's not all about numbers. Colgate needed an extra "politics nut" last year, Wellesley didn't. Focus on developping your interests, not studying for the SAT.</p>

<p>I am working on those things but I just want to make sure my ACT is in a good range. I want to be in a place that no matter what, it couldnt have been my testing score that ruined my app.</p>

<p>TerrarumOrbis, how old are you ?</p>

<p>I turned 17 in the middle of September.</p>

<p>young college-rs, unite!</p>

<p>u r crazy
17?</p>

<p>props 2 that</p>

<p>jaberwocky66, how old were you enrolled? Do you absolutely adore Wellesley?</p>

<p>I'm 17 now, like you (turning 18 next year, though I'm a few months older than you). I love my classes here to death (amazing, amazing professors). I'm not entirely happy with living here, but that's because I'm a big city kind of girl and Wellesley's a calmer, smaller place. It's intensly academic, down-to-earth, and serious; but also incorporates lots of the fun things you associate with college--clubs, activities, and a lot of in-class fun (last week we had a guy come and rap the Canterbury Tales to my Chaucer class, and today my Romantic Poetry class is having a Byron Fest, complete with Greek food and movies). I'd say that as somebody who entered college young, it's an extremely supportive and comfortable environment. Are you thinking of transferring?</p>

<p>I'm thinking about it...I love my Colgate classes but a lot of my peers here aren't as excited about academics as I am....that being said, I'm holding my breath about my GPA...I decided to take 5 classes, which, in retrospect, probably was not too smart. I'm working hard to follow my own preachings about pursuing interests even at the expense of an application! (next semester's full of 300 level classes I might get Bs...or Cs...in..I hope Wellesely will understand!)</p>

<p>ah, so you're applying for transfer?</p>

<p>I'm <strong>considering</strong> it...What's the last day of classes in December? I think I'd like to tour again/interview again just to be safe...</p>

<p>Tuesday, December 12</p>
