I’ve not counted the exact number of hours, but I think I have done more than 150 hours.</p>

<p>I’ve not decided my major yet, but I’m very interested in Mathematics and Economics.
I want to ED Wellesley, do I have a good chance?
I really love this school but I‘m afraid that my SAT 1 score may ruin my chance. Is it true?</p>

<p>Good grades, good test scores, good EC’s! You are basically set. </p>

<p>One thing is to convey your passion for mathematics and Wellesley through your application and then you’ll be fine. I’ll be surprised if you don’t get in.</p>

<p>Thanks for your comment. Wellesley is most probably my top choice school. Do you think it would be better for me to have an interview or campus visit? I mean to know more about the school and to boost the chance of getting in.</p>

<p>With those stats, you’re pretty much guaranteed a spot at Wellesley! I didn’t visit or do an interview before I applied, yet I still got in. I did visit AFTER my acceptance and I fell absolutely in love with the place, so I definitely recommend giving the campus a look.</p>
