<p>I applied ED to Wellelsey College, please chance me!! </p>

<p>I attend a small and rigorious provate high school in New Jersey. To give some context to the rigor we do all of high school in 3.5 years, because we spend the second semester abroad doing community service/ studying/ traveling (etc). My graduating class is 37 kids, so the school does not rank. </p>

<p>ACT Composites: 31 (sept. test); 30 (April Test)
SAT: 1870 (did not submit it)
GPA: 3.75/ 4.0
Transcript: All As and Bs. first mp senior year was all As except for 1 B and 1 B+
Classes include the normal ones as well as 3 additional core jewish studies courses that are focused on writing and critical thinking
Mostly honors and APs when available. (4 APs offered in junior year and thats it) I took AP United States History (4 on the test)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars- A LOT (this probly wont cover it all)
Volunteer: Local Hospital 9th-10th
Physical Therapy Clinic (11th- 12th)
Neighborhood 9th-12th (as needed)
New Orleans Katrina Relief Mission

<p>Looks like you’re a very qualified candidate for a Wellesley acceptance! </p>

<p>Wellesley: high match :)</p>

<p>I agree with Beatles. </p>

<p>The only “weak” part of your application (“weak” as in average for Wellesley admissions) are your ACT and GPA (assuming the 3.75 is UW). Your ECs are impressive, but not outstanding. However, since you’re applying ED, you’ll have a definite edge.</p>

<p>So, I’d say you have an above average shot of getting in-- 60-65% chance.</p>

<p>Good luck!!! =)</p>

<p>My gpa is weighted, but even weighted gpas are out of 4.0.( We have limited opportunities for our classes to give us a higher weight in our gpa)</p>

<p>agree with supergrapez (nice username). I can see you fitting in at Wellesley, but it’s kind of a middle-of-the-road set of stats. The extracurriculars… oh man… I had like 3 pages of extracurriculars details attached to my college app, and most people I know at Wellesley do many extracurriculars as well. (advice to lurkers: it’s better to have a few sustained extracurricular activities in which you made meaningful contributions instead of a lot of them–however, this is not saying that gennak228’s contributions are not meaningful :D) </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
