<p>I just got the email (better late than never?)! The waiting is killing me...and knowing my luck, my internet will be down or something on Tuesday at 5.</p>
<p>tientien: you are funny.</p>
<p>squaregirl: maybe all three get in.. or you get in due to superior essays or test scores...</p>
<p>Mariposa I just got the email too! ha ha I agree it was reassuring even though it was late. Sadly I won't be able to check until I get back from vacation on March 1st...so good luck girls!</p>
<p>Last year EE decision looked like a letter. My daughter quickly printed hers to make sure she was not dreaming and to have a hard copy as a proof :) There were three girls from her school who applied EE and RD, and all got admitted. Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>Happily, I do think my essays/test scores may be slightly superior. Still, I'm staying humble and not expecting anything; I reaaallly hope I get a likely. :\ ARGH THE WAIT IS PAINFUL.</p>
<p>TRULY painful. I'm genuinely nauseated just thinking about it all. I'm trying (albeit unsuccessfully) to forget about the entire thing until the 24th at 5pm. :D</p>
<p>squaregirl: Whoo for an Austinite! :) I didn't think anybody from here was going to apply there. Course...that might not be such swell news for me ;)</p>
<p>Holla! Glad to see another ATXer here! Or...not. Heh. ;) Still, good luck to both of us! Wellesley needs more Texans!</p>
<p>does anyone know how many people actually do get a likely letter? a percentage or something? eek..nervous...</p>
<p>well i know their acceptance rate is 36%...</p>
<p>idk how many girls they accepted for ED...but for round-number purposes probably about 30% of us will get that likely email. someone better than me at math could probably give you a closer answer, but yeah. =)</p>
<p>I know they say only the top applicants get it, or something... :</p>
<p>I'm not a math person either, but 30% would make sense for the percentage of us recieving "likely" letters. They accept 36% overall...and about 25% of the students who get a "possible" notification will be accepted. Grm.
Anybody know how many students applied EE?</p>
<p>I've just wasted a fair amount of time trying to figure that out, Sopralto. Why are there no numbers on it? The only stat that keeps popping up is that 25% of "possibles" get accepted in the end, which we all already knew. </p>
<p>Haha, I just realized that I kind of want school vacation to end so that Tuesday can hurry up and get here and I can finally know... :) God, if I'm like this now, what kind of monster am I going to turn into when RD decision time approaches?</p>
<p>ok let me take a stab at this.</p>
<p>on another thread i read that they'll accept around 1500/4125 girls that applied this year for the goal of enrolling 590. 120 were already accepted ED, representing 20% of the class (actually 120 is 20% of 600 not 590, but no matter). 590 - 120 = 470 spots left open for the 4005 girls left. wellesley's yield % (the percentage of girls that are accepted that actually end up going) is 42%. that means they'll need to accept 470/.42 = 1119 girls (and this is assuming they also deny anyone they deferred in ED). 1119 girls to accept/4005 applicants = 28%.</p>
<p>also assuming that anyone who gets a likely letter is in, and for the sake of my sanity...
between a quarter and a third of us will get that likely letter.
in really rounded terms. and if i did my math correctly (and it's entirely possible that I didn't).</p>
<p>:)
in other words - WE'LL HEAR TUESDAY.</p>
<p>A third? Heh. Maybe I should start thinking about Smith....</p>
<p>im surprised at how calm i am at the prospect that we'll know our ee decisions the day after tomorrow!! i think it might be because i have a lot of things to do between now and then. yay for keeping busy. im sure i'll be freaking out on tuesday though haha</p>
<p>Good luck everyone! I'm RD and the wait is killing me! :)</p>
<p>One.more.day.</p>
<p><em>bites nails</em></p>
<p>Yeah, tomorrow is gonna suuuuuck. :|</p>
<p>Counting down.. less than 20 hours.</p>
<p>Eek!</p>
