<p>i know these are awful, but i'm curious. i visited wellesley last fall and loved the campus, and the vibe, now i'm a senior and applying.

(we don't offer very many AP classes at my school)</p>

<p>i've played varsity soccer for four years, club rugby for three. i'm on prom committee, in amnesty international, ski club, my school's big brother/big sister, and i founded a book club at my school. i spent last summer working in the cumberland gap n.h.p. with the student conservation association, and i volunteer saturday mornings (sometimes) with habitat for humanity.</p>

<p>what do you think?</p>

<p>i don't know what you think is so awful? you scores look good though a bit below the avg SAT on math for wellesley. my D is applying too and her profile looks similar to yours... wellesley is a great school, but it is not as hard to get into as the ivies (due to the fact it's single sex which makes it less of a reach.) good luck to you.</p>

<p>p.s. where else are you applying?</p>

<p>Well, your IIs are very strong and many schools regard those higher than the Is anyways. You've got a fair chance at it and keep in mind, like fairburn said, Wellesley is not as hard to get into due to its all-girl status so what would be a 23% acceptance rate as a coed is actually 46 or 47%. As you don't have any special "hooks" per se it might be more competitive for you but you still have a chance.</p>
