Wellesley Class of 2020 ED Thread

@eapndme Yeah, I did. Its okay, you can still apply RD :slight_smile:

@poorstressedgirl sorry I’m late! Busy night. Welcome to the party :D. My main backup is BU. I’m looking to music minor and they have such a good fine arts program. I love Wellesley and everything, but it’s good to know that if I don’t get in I still have a school that I’m excited about. For a long time it was just Wellesley and I was kind of freaked about what would happen if I didn’t get in, so it’s good to have a solid backup.

How did you all hear about Wellesley?

@eapndme ha that’s actually a funny story- in January of last year I was dating a guy who had recently been admitted to Harvard and he was trying to convince me go to school in Boston, so he told me about Wellesley. I broke up with him a few weeks later but this summer I was doing some more research trying to find more schools to apply to, and I recognized the name on naviance, so I did some research, ended up visiting and falling in love! At least one good thing came from that relationship lol

Eek just 1 more week! So nervous

@eapndme I actually dont remember how I first heard about Wellesley-- it was years ago. But one of my older sisters friends got accepted and actually currently attends Wellesley, so I asked her questions and I just read a lot about Wellesley online in general.

1 more week and 50 minutes left!

I actually played a soccer tournament at Wellesley, but at the time I was barely considering it. My dad catered an alumna’s party and he told her that I had mentioned the school. A bunch of her friends at the party had also gone to Wellesley, and they immediately asked if they could talk to me about the school. I ended up speaking to two of the women on the phone, one particularly for HOURS. She was so helpful and enthusiastic, she even ended up writing me a letter of support, for which I’m SO grateful. When I visited, I was in love!

okay so glad i found this… im the only person i know applying to wellesley from where im from, which is comforting and annoying aha. dying at how slow the time is moving towards Dec 10!!!

just wondering what kind of activities people are interested in here…does anyone do sci o? :smiley:

I’m the only one who has even heard of Wellesley where I’m from! How do you guys know when results will be posted? On the Wellesley website it just says Mid-December, but I thought it was December 15th cause that’s when most ED results go out, but then I was emailing an AO from Wellesley who said it would be out BY December 11th, and here everyone is saying December 10th… will it come out at a specific time of day?

@cierramist I feel you! Barely any of my teachers know what Wellesley is…on mywellesley portal, it says we will receive admission notifications at 5pm on December 10th.

I didn’t even see that! Where on the portal does it say? AH this is so nerve wracking! But I guess we find out five days earlier than I thought we did so that’s nice! @eapndme

Never mind, I just saw it! When I checked yesterday, it was still talking about quarter grades @eapndme

@happytracks Ballet, GSA, Golf, and Chinese! No sci o for me though sorry!

@happytracks I volunteer a lot. Im interested in teaching so most of my ECs are teaching-related. Im not in sci o either.

@happytracks I do! I’ve been doing it since sophomore year. Which state are you in? I’m in AZ.

Less than a week :-SS !!

@xyx5182 since 7th grade, and I’m from Texas!

@happytracks wow!! That’s really impressive!! Did you have any major awards? I’ve done not so well…
