chance me for Wellesley ED

<p>Hello everyone, I have absolutely no idea what my chances are on getting accepted to Wellesley ED, so I would really appreciate getting feedback from all of you.</p>

<p>I have dual citizenship, currently living in Spain
IB bilingual diploma candidate- predicted score around mid 30´s
I have either a 5 or 6 in every class- except Math where I have a 3
didn´t pass math for 1 semester in my sophmore year- but made it up</p>

<p>EC´s: head of a school run charity, model united nations- award best delegate at a conference, girls varsity soccer captain</p>

<p>SAT- very low- around mid 500´s in all categories, making it up in September
subject tests: 800 in Spanish, 530 in Biology
pretty good writing skills overall</p>

<p>Thank you for all your help in advance</p>

<p>I’m not sure how exactly Spain’s grading system works, so it’s hard to tell there. I’m also no expert on the IB curriculum. But one thing’s for sure: you NEED to get those SAT scores up. Competitive applicants will have high 600s and above.</p>

<p>Also I feel that an 800 in the Spanish subject test will hurt you a little, since it appears to be a free pass since you live in Spain and all. I doubt Wellesley will really like that.</p>

<p>Hi Quesadillagirl,</p>

<p>I would be concerned that your low math grade, including having failed a class, in conjunction with your low SAT scores, will make Wellesley a reach for you. </p>

<p>I agree with boxofcereals. While the SAT isn’t the single most important factor, it can be an indication of likelihood of admission. Check out Wellesley’s SAT stats: [Standardized</a> Testing | Wellesley College](<a href=“http://www.wellesley.edu/admission/apply/faq/testing]Standardized”>http://www.wellesley.edu/admission/apply/faq/testing) . Scroll to the bottom of the page for the specific breakdowns. You’ll notice that applicants whose scores were in the 500’s were unlikely to be admitted.</p>
