<p>Where do you live, lareine? I didn't get my letter today and I'm in New England...I guess I'll just have to wait for Monday. :[</p>

<p>Good news arrived today! I am also from a nearby town and it got here pretty quickly.</p>

<p>Congrats to all those that are celebrating! :)</p>

<p>I live in New England too and haven't heard anything! I was a 'possible' under EE.</p>

<p>I live in Massachusetts two towns away from Wellesley, so I got my letter today.</p>

<p>ACCEPTED!
I was a likely under EE, though, so I kind of knew, but I'm still sooooo excited!</p>

Essays: I was really proud of my Why Wellesley essay, and my general essay was pretty good, but not great.

Recs: i've never read them but my g.c. likes me alot and she said my rec was really personal (i was flattered cause I had no idea she liked me that much!)</p>

<p>I'm not going to put my name on the waitlist. this wasn't my first choice (but up there!) and i got a lot of $ to GWU so I think I'm going to d.c.!</p>

<p>For those of you who got letters in the real mail today, what did they look like? I live in New England and didn't receive anything in today's mail. Wondering what the accepted envelopes look like, vs. the waitlisted and rejected envelopes. Thanks.</p>

<p>I live 45 min. away from Wellesley and today I was ACCEPTED!!! :) :) :) I had been an EE likely, so I wasn't excessively worried, but getting that nice big thick envelope in the mail felt pretty good, especially since I was waitlisted today by Middlebury, Bowdoin, and Swarthmore and yesterday by Williams. The women's colleges have been very kind to me...coed schools not so much. :) </p>

<p>@newengland8, the accepted envelope is exactly what you'd think it would be...very big and fat and clearly full of a folder with lots of Wellesley paraphernalia (which is green, by the way, because apparently 2013ers are the green class at Wellesley, or something). </p>

<p>Congratulations to everyone who got in today and good luck to those who haven't heard yet!</p>

<p>Congrats to you all! I am sooo nervous now, i was ED Deferred and im not holding my breath for RD.. :(</p>

<p>my waitlist envelope was a small, standard #10 envelope. I sent in my "no thanks" postcard that came enclosed. at least they paid for the stamp!!</p>

<p>great, I live in california which means that the letter will come probably wednesday or thursday if its anything like carnegie mellon...</p>

<p>congrats to all who got in so far and good luck to the rest of us we are waiting :D</p>

<p>You can expect the accepted envelopes to be nice and big, and the rest to be pretty small.</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone who got in! It'll be awesome to see you on campus next year. :) For those who were waitlisted, keep your fingers crossed! To those who were rejected, I wish you the best, but you will still find another school that you will be happy at.</p>

<p>I got my big letter yesterday! I'm excited because I was a 'possible' EE.</p>

<p>the folder contained a lot of stuff. they even waived my deposit! (:
They also have your financial aid stuff in it as well.
I am so happy, if I don't get into any other school then I will go to wellesley, (:</p>

<p>I got a Wellesley course catalog in the mail today, but no letter...very interesting.</p>

<p>TOC, I got a course book a week or two ago. Maybe something was up with your mail.</p>

<p>:O Thanks for letting me know. I hope I will get my decision letter tomorrow! :)</p>

<p>Congrats, shineemilk! :)</p>

<p>Congrats shineemilk, you give me hope as I am a 'possible' too! Hopefully I'll get good news tomorrow...</p>

<p>Although I am a "Possible," I highly doubt I will get in. Congratulations to everyone. Congrats shineemilk!</p>

<p>waitlisted after EE 'possible'
we'll see what happens...</p>
