<p>I mean, no one can give you an for sure, but I’m pretty sure you’ll hold your own in admissions :slight_smile:
ACT is a bit low, but im sure your grades will outway/ URM status will give u enough of a boost.</p>

<p>While your ACT score is low, your strong gpa, class rank (1/350), extracurricular activities (leadership positions, sports team for 4 years, etc.), URM status, and 25-hour per week work, lead me to believe you have a decent chance of being admitted. To balance academics, work and leadership positions among your consistent ECs, in my humble opinion, indicates you have certainly been a committed student and active member of your community. I hope you are admitted to Wellesley!</p>
