<p>hey everyone so i've just got a couple of questions about wellesley.. </p>

<p>i apologize beforehand for any dumb ones hehe </p>

<p>1) so there's no application fee to pay if you submit your commonapp and supplement online, but will i have to pay the fee if i send in my transcript, teacher recs, and such through mail?</p>

<p>2) my highest critical reading score (out of 2 sittings) is 660. umm does that look not so good? </p>

<p>3) also to early decision/action applicants who were accepted ... what was your essay topic about?? i'm almost done with my essay, but i'm afraid it might be too generic. i talk about my mother who really has had the greatest influence on my life. she taught me that helping others is incredibly important and as a result, i really can't see myself doing anything else but working to help others and volunteering. i have a feeling that many applicants talk about their mothers (although no one can blame them cause moms rock!), but is this "helping people" topic too common?? what do you think??</p>

<p>thank you in advance!</p>

<p>1) nope. I did application online and other things offline, but I didn't have to pay the application fee</p>

<p>2) my highest writing score (out of 3 sittings) is 670, but i got accepted!! ^^</p>

<p>3) I think it looks really good. Also, every essay topic can be boring or excellent depending on the person's writing skill. If you feel condident, just go for it.</p>

<p>According to admission statistics, Statistics</a> 2012 37% of students with Critical Reading scores between 650 and 690 were accepted. Given that you find this score "low", I'm guessing your writing and math are higher, which is a plus.</p>

<p>I consider my essay to have been terminally boring. In retrospect I wish I had written about my own mother, who worked at my high school.</p>
