<p>Yeah, I don’t have all the energy for that, I’ll just give the basics.</p>
<p>My daughter was wait listed. We are disappointed but not too surprised.</p>
<p>4.5 GPA
2340 SAT 790 780 770</p>
<p>My daughter’s problem is weak extracurriculars, at least in regards to what Wellesley likes. She isn’t a violin player, doesn’t play sports, isn’t an artist, or an award winning anything. And she doesn’t have much volunteer work on her resume.</p>
<p>So she is definitely disappointed with being weight listed, but having studies Wellesley a good bit, not all that surprised.</p>
<p>I have tried 3 computers connected to 2 different wi-fi networks and 2 phones and it still won’t work! Its like the website can’t handle all of the traffic. I haven’t even had the chance to log in yet! ahh so frustrated!!!</p>
<p>Reporting for my D. Waitlisted and not surprised. Gpa 3.8 UW/ 4.38 W, SAT 1990, SAT IIs much higher, 8 APs, Significant EC accomplishments (track) + usual HS activities (clubs and tutoring). </p>
<p>Hope you all get your decisions soon! Waiting must be awful.</p>
