<p>Your stats look really good–just make sure to spend time on the essays, as they’re an important part of the application. (Also, the Wellesley golf coach is really nice. I walk her dog during the school year.)</p>

<p>Let me know if you have any questions!</p>

<p>I always feel weird posting after MarieCC1 because I feel like I always agree with her… hahah…</p>

<p>Anyway. Yeah, your stats look pretty good. However, I’ve known people who have stats around yours and still got waitlisted/rejected at Wellesley. Make sure your LORs and essays stand out. And if it’s not too late, make sure you obtain leadership positions in your extracurricular activites your senior year. It’s one thing to be a part of a club. Another thing to be in charge of it. You look like a really well rounded person so I’m sure you’ll do fine :)</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>
