Oof I meant 690 math, just realized that mistake!

You seem like a strong candidate, and your odds improve by applying early. Of course, Wellesley’s acceptance rate has been steadily declining over the past couple of years, so nothing is guaranteed. I’m rooting for you, and I hope you get good news!
