<p>I applied to Wellesley regular decision and my school counselor just notified me today that I received an "unlikely" decision for early evaluation. The letter she received said that I applied early evaluation, but my common application clearly says I applied regular decision. I got a notice in the mail saying they received my application, but I never got anything saying that I applied early evaluation and I never received an "unlikely" decision in the mail. I called Wellesley today and I'm just nervously awaiting a response and hoping somehow that something got mixed up and that I really didn't get an "unlikely". I wouldn't mind if I got a "possibly" or a "likely" but my whole purpose for not applying EE was because I did not want to face rejection this early!
Has this happened to anyone else? I'll let everyone know what happens once I hear back from Wellesley.</p>
<p>I think you might be confusing Early Evaluation with Early Decision or Early Admission. EE, at Wellesley, is merely a means for you to find out, before the decision date, how your application is looking. I'm sorry you got an 'unlikely'. But if you really didn't want to know one way or the other and are quite sure you didn't check any EE boxes, perhaps they did confuse you with someone else although this is also 'unlikely'.<br>
Good luck to you.</p>
<p>Yeah I wonder why they would send one to your counselor and not one to you.</p>
<p>Well I just spoke to someone at Wellesley and I guess what happened was that since my common application was turned in by the E.E. deadline they evaluated it E.E., even though my supplement was not turned in until the RD deadline and it clearly said on the supplement that I was applying RD. They said that although my supplement wasn't turned in until 1/15, it would not have made a difference in their decision. The lady was not sure why I didn't receive a EE decision in the mail and she is going to have them send another one.
I'm still a little annoyed because I didn't want to find out about any rejections this early, but I'm just glad that it wasn't my first choice because then I would have been really sad :(
Congratulations to everyone who still has hope(if you received a possibly or likely)!</p>
<p>I'm sorry to hear that SH1234567. Just think of it this way, you already got it out of the way and that's one less college to think about.</p>
<p>Hopefully, you'll get into one of your first choices! Good luck :]</p>
<p>Thanks. I spoke with the lady from Wellesley again & she said she could put me back under regular decision if I wanted her to do so. She said that they look at both applications(EE & RD) again so it wouldn't make much of a difference, but I don't really care at this point so I said to just put me under RD.</p>
<p>Sorry to hear about your situation :(</p>
<p>The same thing happened to me, supplement-wise. I put Early Evaluation on all of my application materials, except for my art supplement. I put Regular Decision on that and turned it in after the EE Art supplement deadline had passed. They ignored it and sent me an Early evaluation...kinda weird, but whatever.</p>
<p>i turned my application in on December 30th for regular decision...and that didn't happend to me...at least i hope not...i wanted to apply EE but then i missed the deadline for dance supplements so i applied regular instead...dont worry though...maybe it was just a fluke..just keep your hopes up :)</p>
<p>That really sucks, SH1234567. I can see why an unlikely from Wellesley might feel like a barometer for other schools, but college admissions can be funny. Good luck with everything else though.</p>
<p>Thanks! I just wish that I wouldnt have found out until the end of this month because it totally makes me doubt my chances at a lot of other colleges I applied to. It still doesn't make sense to me why they got it confused because the person I spoke with from Wellesley said that my supplement did say "regular decision" on it & they never sent me and EE decision in the mail. I didn't have high hopes for Wellesley in the first place, but it would have been nice to find out about my rejection when I had originally had planned & not on a Monday morning from my school counselor. Now I'm really glad I applied to a lot(12) of colleges!</p>
