<p>Awww.... I haven't made up my mind yet. I'm still having my Swat-herst-ley dilemma. GRRR. I want them all! But aparently I can't have everything in life * oh well. I wish I could make up my mind easier. Even if I end up going elsewhere, I'll still miss Wellesley in the end.</p>
<p>Sorry Margaret (can I call you Maggie or something?), if this isn't really relevant to your post. I'd introduce myself, but I feel unsure of any decisions yet, and I don't want to be the pseudo-Wellesley girl.</p>

<p>are you guys gonna be at the open house? its pretty far away for most of you, but im all for getting out of school. senioritis all the way :S</p>
<p>Haha, I'm w/ you too about skipping school, reggie91848. Honestly, second semester of your senior year is a complete waste of time, lol.</p>
<p>Anyways, congratulations on your acceptance to Wellesley! And whoa, I'm loving the new Phantom of the Opera movie too. :-) Yes, the songs get stuck in your head, but I guess its because I have the soundtrack on repeat.</p>
<p>I'm going to SOC, but I have yet to buy airplane tickets. I'm waiting to hear back from my brother who is supposed to go with me since neither of my parents can make it (<em>sigh</em> I couldn't get them to let me go on my own, haha).</p>
<p>I'd fill out this survey, but I already did one on the livejournal site, so yeah... check out roza_soza's link if you all would like. The LJ community grows bigger every day so for those who haven't already, definitely join (or at least drop a message) to keep it growing.</p>

I don't know. I visited Wellesley this weekend and it seemed just sooo preppy, which irked me some. Oh well. Love it otherwise~</p>
<p>The preppiness irks me too (even though I'm finishing up my first year). Too many girls with giant Louis Vuitton bags and cashmere sweaters and Burberry scarves and Polo-shirts-color-coordinated-with-moccasins.</p>
<p>What even irks me more is that there are other schools even more preppy than Wellesley. I hope to never set foot on those campuses.</p>
<p>The preppy factor was D's only gut-level turn-off about Wellesley per se.</p>
<p>The poster named Mini has some stats that show how much more of Wellesley's population can afford a full-ride, indicating a wealthy family background. It's significantly upscale. Some will like that, some won't.</p>
<p>Yeah seriously. You all should've seen the expression on my face when my classmates asked me if the girls at my high school all wore Tiffany's jewelery.</p>
<p>At first I was a bit shocked at the prep level. But I've come to tolerate it. Somewhat. The students are still smart and engaging, and I guess that's all that counts.</p>
<p>As long as the students are "smart and engaging". That IS what matters ultimately anyhow. Hahaha, I just hope I won't end up conforming to the preppiness!</p>
<p>i'm definitely going if i get the financial aid that i asked for. i haven't gotten it yet, i guess it happens when you live in Bolivia grrr..anyway i love doing these things :) so here it goes...</p>

<p>i dont know what to major in! i cant seem to get used to picking 4 classes since thats 4 subjects and i know whichever subject i dont pick i will miss. i cant imagine a year without english, or math, or science, or history, but i also want to take latin, or philosophy, or other interesting stuff they didnt have in hs.</p>
<p>I definetly want to study political science and but i don't know with what, i'm thinking economics or history or int'l. relation, economics is winning though..</p>
