Early Evaluation Accuracy at Wellesley?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Wellesley College

I applied Early Evaluation at Wellesley, and I was wondering what the probability of actual admission is if you do get a likely? I understand it’s not guaranteed, but is there anyone who’s been given a likely and then not been accepted?

hey! i’m a current student at wellesley and i did early evaluation (i got a likely). basically, if you get a “likely”, as long as you don’t let your grades slip or commit a felony, you’re pretty much in. in terms of the other evaluations, about 20% of people who get a “possible” evaluation will be admitted, and an “unlikely” evaluation means that unfortunately you will not be admitted. hope this helps!

It definitely does! Hoping to meet you next year! :D.

I had a few more questions actually- How are you liking Wellesley and the course-work? Is it hard? And how’s the international community there? Can you comment on presence of Indians on campus?

i love wellesley! the coursework is challenging - prospies often ask if wellesley has an honors program and to that i generally respond that wellesley IS the honors program. professors expect a lot from you but as long as you put in the work, it will be rewarding. wellesley has a shadow grading policy for first semester first year students, so it allows ample time for us to find that balance and adequately transition into college without having to stress about not getting perfect grades.

i’m a domestic student so i can’t really speak too much about the international student experience here, but i have a bunch of friends who are international students and from my understanding they seem to be content as well. slater is a great resource for international students!

Thank you for your help! :smiley:

i can speak more of the international community if you’d like? i work at slater/am a domestic student but i’ve lived overseas for awhile/was originally born there. also majority of my friends are international so, if you have any specifics i don’t mind answering questions
