<p>dd says the Wellesley supplement just asks if your a legacy or whatever and has no essay requirement. Is this so? No why Wellesley even? There is a space for other info, so would it be appropriate to include something?</p>
<p>That's true, there isn't a supplemental essay, but there's an optional one. </p>
<p>*"In addition to the 5 personal statements on the common app, Wellesley invites you to consider a sixth option as one of your choices (please only submit one essay)."</p>
<p>"Wellesley is a small, residential college with a diverse population. Share with us an experience that illustrates what it means to you to join a multicultural community in which you are living with people from many different backgrounds." *</p>
<p>(found on the pdf format of the Wellesley app).</p>
<p>ugh.</p>
<p>I used common app online to fill out the wellesley supplement, and there was no mention of an optional essay on it.</p>
<p>I guess I have until the 15th to write it...but I just thought I was all done with this college apps. stuff =(</p>
<p>If you did one of the Common App essays, you don't have to do this optional one. It's an additional <em>choice</em>, not an additional <em>essay</em>.</p>
<p>OH GOSH, I GET IT! silly me.</p>
<p>now I feel so relieved...THANKS!!</p>
