<p>Alright, so I'm in love with Wellesley. But I have one major problem and that's my sat score of 1720. I didn't really prepare for it and only found out about it's importance a couple months before I took the test. I have a tendency to over-analyze, and cannot concentrate in a crunched time environment. But I'm extremely passionate about so much and my GPA and actual intellectual ability just don't agree with my sat score AT ALL. I can bump this score up to an 1800 if i study hard enough but if so, can you tell me more or less what you feel about me applying to wellesley? </p>

<p>Recommendations
In the least cocky way possible, teachers seem to love me and I always seem to have the best relationships with them. I am pretty sure I can get AMAZING recommendations from more than 3 teachers, and EC mentors/advisors.</p>
<p>I also speak fluent spanish, english, and pretty good french.
Sat subject tests: french, 620 spanish, 690</p>
<p>I can write a KILLER essay (writing is my favorite thing) and i know i will be able to demonstrate my plight and passion to Wellesley. It' just my sat score. I am seriously a horrible test taker. At least standardized. i overanalyze, and seem to have anxiety issues once i start taking the test.
At school, i always seem to have extremely high test grades and do really well on projects,
its just the SAT/ACT that kind of ruins that, but i will retake and shoot for an 1800.</p>
<p>Alright, sorry for the length. So, what do you think are my chances at Wellesley?</p>
