Anyone applying/applied? Does anyone know the acceptance rate of this? Thoughts of Wellesley so far?
I applied!
awesome!!! @Kelvin82 do you know the acceptance rate? or anyone who has gone before?
Acceptance rate this year was the lowest in history…21% of approx 6,000 apps.
@niesgirl the acceptance rate you are referring to is for Wellesley College, I believe.
@crimsonbleeding2022 no, I don’t know the acceptance rate for Discover Wellesley, unfortunately. I had a friend who went to the program, and she loved it! She attends Wellesley, and will be a senior this fall! Will you be applying to other fly in programs?
Oh cheese! Yep, sorry!
does anyone know when results are released? just says “evening”
I think it’s supposed to come out today and we would get an email notifying us. Good luck!
Anyone waiting?
Yes! Really nervous
Haven’t got an email yet…
Decisions are out
I got accepted!
is the fall travel grant more directed towards URM/low-income students? i was rejected with pretty strong stats (perfect sat/good gpa passionate essay etc), but i’m also asian and from an upper class family. wellesley was definitely one of my top choices and now i’m extremely nervous for the college application process itself…
would someone who was rejected be willing to post their rejection letter (with all confidential info removed ofc!). i just want to see if all rejection letters are the same
My daughter (URM) was wait-listed and will be put back into the pool for the next round. I believe the focus is URM/low-income/first-gen and they use your zipcode to get an indication of your income level. However applying does demonstrate interest so it does count for something.
I applied and got accepted 
Excited to meet you all in the fall
@friendfiend - the selection criteria for Discover Wellesley and the actual application are different. Please don’t be discouraged.
Has anyone heard? Decisions were supposed to come out today.
I received my acceptance on August 31st. See you all there!
