How can I get into Wellesley?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Wellesley College

<p>Hello!
My dream college is Wellesley and as a junior I'm becoming super anxious about senior year and applications for college after watching all of my senior friends this year not get into their dream schools.</p>

<p>Here's my profile (most are estimated because I'm a junior still in the 2nd semester):</p>

<p>GPA unweighted: about 3.8 or 3.9
weighted: 4.2-4.3
SAT: 2150<
ACT: 30-32
10 AP classes total by senior year
President/ founder of SAVE (Suicide awareness club)
Publicity Officer of Speech & Debate
Volunteer at library tutoring little kids:)
Long Distance Track JV
Summer research job at City of Hope</p>

<p>About me: I come from a low-income family. My parents are first generation immigrants who have not received an education above the high school level. My best friend committed suicide in eighth grade prompting me to start the club which led to my interest and dedication in the medical field. I specifically focus on neurology and biotechnology and have job experience working in professional labratories. </p>

<p>If you’re sure it’s your top choice, why not apply ED? </p>

<p>@katezoey‌ I agree, you have a good shot. Keep up the good work. (And of course, don’t put all your eggs in one basket! Make sure you have several other “match” schools and a couple of safeties.)</p>

<p>Have you looked at the other MA women’s colleges like Smith and Mount Holyoke? My D liked all 3 of them a lot, but especially Wellesley and Mount Holyoke.</p>

You have great story to tell in your college app essay, you have good scores. If you really like Wellesley, you have a very good chance of getting in. Just as Stacyneil said, make sure you apply to other colleges as well.
Good Luck.</p>

<p>Ah, that makes me feel so much better about my chances. Thank you guys for replying and I’ll definitely be applying for ED and other women colleges. Thinking about Scripps College because I’m from California and it’s close to home.</p>
