<p>Hey everyone, I sent in my EE app in late December. I'm taking a "gap" year right now working on a political campaign. I was accepted last year through EE (I got a likely letter) but obviously didn't go. Do you think my chances are hurt by this? I am hoping they will see how badly I want to go to Wellesley, which is why I applied again.</p>
<p>I applied EE too! Wellesley is a reach for me, I think, so its almost like I've given up on getting in. But its still one of my top choices.</p>
<p>H-bone:
I'm actually doing similar work... I'm interning for a politician, doing prison advocacy work and working on the Hillary campaign. Whom are you working for? Anyways, why didn'y you just defer your acceptance? I chose not to apply/defer but only because I knew I would be taking a PG year and could save the application stress for this year. If you were accepted last year and I were an AO at Wellesley, my uestion would be, wy are you applying again? Maybe you explained this in your CoA?</p>
<p>I'm an EE-er!</p>
<p>I'm sure I could look this up but...when do EEs come out?</p>
<p>Late February. I don't know any more details than that, though.</p>
<p>Yep, late February.</p>
<p>Anyone else as anxious as I am? :x</p>
<p>OMG!! I am!!</p>
<p>I guess I am. I don't really want to think about it (mental procrastination is really unlike me, too...). I don't know if I will open the letter; my will power (translation: fear) can be pretty intense... Aah why can't it be April so this hell would be over?</p>
<p>I will definitely rip open that letter the moment I see it.</p>
<p>It would drive me crazy if, for EE, they sent me a "maybe" letter...all that would do is reaffirm the fact that I don't really know what's going to happen!! But I shall do the same as you, gub. That letter doesn't stand a chance!</p>
<p>hey froghorn!
pretty funny, I'm working for Barack and absolutely love it. Good luck to both of the campaigns on Feb-5. I actually had a health problem my senior year. It was a nasty eating disorder that put me in a treatment center. I didn't put down a deposit with any college because I wasn't sure what my life was going to be like. Treatment really helped me though and I recovered much faster than I thought I would.
I didn't explain this in my essay because I don't think many colleges are keen to let in a girl with an ED! Hahah...even though I'm now talking about it on the internet! I did explain why I was applying to Wellesley again, just how much I loved the school and wanted to be a part of the community. Hopefully it will work out for both of us. I would love to discuss our experiences after the elections are over!</p>
<p>Herringbone, I pm'ed you!</p>
<p>"I didn't explain this in my essay because I don't think many colleges are keen to let in a girl with an ED!"</p>
<p>Maybe, maybe not. You did what you had to do. Also, your defection opened up a place for someone whom Wellesley would have been more practicable at the time anyway, thus saving WC from having admitted and then losing a student--and her coveted spot. Looked upon that way, you made the ethical decision that was best for you and fairest to the institution.</p>
<p>And a public congrats on your recovery; a triumph over an ED is one to be lauded! Not easy.</p>
<p>12 days until February 21st and the EE results!</p>
<p>Did anyone get another email from Wellesley with information about logging in? I thought they said they'd send it this week (two more days left until the week is over...)</p>
<p>No, I didn't either. I'm going to call tomorrow.</p>
<p>A week, or seven days, until EE notification! W00t!</p>
<p>Counting down: 6 days!!!!</p>
<p>Just got the log in info, woo! I.cannot.wait.</p>
