<p>my ECs are good ...lots of leadership</p>

<p>my potential hooks are:
Photography....lots of awards..portfolio etc
??Crew...i could contact the coach</p>

<p>i feel confident with my essay...i made my answers very unique </p>

<p>so?</p>

<p>LOL ur mom went to barnard, not wellesley... haha but if you count on alumna relations, barnard is also a great school. anyway wellesley is not a far reach for you. it has taken sats like yours before. sat ii 660 is reasonable. the crew/ photography isn't much ofa hook but it adds alot to your application too. good luck!</p>

<p>decent chances. good luck =)</p>

<p>I was a recruited athlete and while a coaches letter does add to your overall package, I was very plainly told by the coach that I would have to get in by my own merits alone.
I think that Wellesley is a good reach for you. You never know what admissions is looking for or what random aspect of your application might catch their eye. I really believe though that Wellesley admissions is about so much more than a bunch of numbers, so don't let your scores get you down.</p>
