Official Class of 2018 Thread

<p>Yep, I'm starting one. As both ED and RD admissions are only a few months away, I think now would be a good time for this thread. We can post tips, ideas, dreams, etc. etc.</p>

<p>Let's go wild!</p>

<p>GO WELLESLEY! :p</p>

<p>Hello :slight_smile: I’m applying for Wellesley ED and am a train-wreck of emotions!</p>

<p>ED applicant here… Hope to see you all at Wellesley! Only four months left! Good luck!</p>

<p>Hey soft calculator! May I know your stats? I don’t think I’m good enough to get in. And how are all of your Why Wellesley supplements?</p>

<p>Oh yes! And. What makes you want to go to Wellesley, even knowing that it’s an all-girls!</p>

<p>CatchingMyStars, I PMed you.</p>

<p>I won’t elaborate too much on my Wellesley essay idea, but I chose one of the “100” that I think few people will choose; doing that (and writing it well, obviously) are, I think, probably the best way to go. </p>

<p>Anyone else?</p>

<p>And anyone who wants to, feel free to post your stats! We won’t judge :)</p>

<p>Hey guys I’m considering ED but am not sure yet. What are some aspects of Wellesley that influenced your decision to apply ED?</p>

<p>InvisibleMatter, the only reason I apply ED is Wellesley is my top choice. That’s it. I know someone who has a 2300+ SAT and applied Bucknell ED. His stats are well above average, but Bucknell is his top choice, so it would be a good idea to apply ED. Follow your guts!</p>

<p>I get it, but (if you don’t mind sharing), what makes Wellesley your number one choice? Wellesley is also one of my top choices but I am just not certain yet whether it is my first choice.</p>

<p>InvisibleMatter, I PMed you.</p>

<p>Thanks softcalculator! I wanted to reply but apparently don’t have enough posts yet. I agree with all the points you said… personally, what i like best about Wellesley is the student to teacher ratio (small class size) and the opportunity to get to know your professors very well. Thanks for the reply, I’ll PM you back when I can.</p>

<p>It’s okay :slight_smile: What other colleges do you have in mind?</p>

<p>InvisibleMatter, there are plentiful reasons why Wellesley is my first choice .
I’ve known of many successful women who have come from Wellesley. The percentage of women in positions of authority come mostly from Wellesley, rather than MIT or Harvard, which says something about the school! :)</p>

<p>Not to mention, I have also heard that time in Wellesley is super super fun. With their traditions and stuff :slight_smile: Of course, their sports groups and their stellar professors! </p>

<p>I visited the campus, it was lovely tooooo.</p>

<p>I’m applying ED! </p>

<p>Yepp.</p>

<p>Ahh I’ve been debating on applying ED or not. Mainly because money is an issue and there are a couple of state schools that I could qualify to be in their honors programs, which includes plentiful scholarships and even research positions. So I’m not sure :(</p>

<p>But I’m going to the Discover Wellesley Weekend this October, so hopefully I’ll get an idea if I really love the school or not. I’m nervous and excited!!</p>

<p>But is there anyone here who’s willing to chance me to see if I’d stand a chance RD? :P</p>

<p>^Sure! PM me your stats and such :)</p>

<p>boxofcereals: Right, you can’t PM yet, you don’t have 15 posts; silly me! :smiley: Anyway, I found your oldish chance thread for Wellesley, and I think it’s a low reach for you.</p>

<p>Hey ladies! I’m super excited (and terribly nervous) about applying to Wellesley. I’ll be an RD applicant, but under Early Evaluation, and Wellesley is one of my top choices. And if anyone wouldn’t mind chancing me (for Wellesley only), I have a chance me thread here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1543428-chance-me-georgetown-nyu-cmu-will-chance-back.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1543428-chance-me-georgetown-nyu-cmu-will-chance-back.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>And I’m looking forward to possibly meeting some of you at Discover Wellesley weekend!</p>

<p>I’m also applying RD under EE! It’s definitely a top choice for me–tied with Harvard (hopefully one will reject me and then I won’t have to make the tough decision myself!) </p>

<p>You have excellent stats and a strong chance at being admitted to W :)</p>

<p>Wait… When’s the EE deadline? Can I apply for it too? I thought it’s only for transfer students.</p>
