***WELLESLEY CLASS OF 2021 APPLICANTS THREAD***

@niesgirl It says on your portal that FA will be available on March 23? Mine doesn’t say that, but I no longer have the box to click on for my FA checklist.

@greenteen17 SAME!

Hey! anyone knows how many students are placed as possibly accepted students? They said that I may possibly get there so I would like to know about my chances of getting in. Till today none get into Wellesley from Nepal for fall 2021.

@greenteen17 Yes, the exact words are above. Checklist is gone and replaced with those words.

@niesgirl mine says the same thing (that finacial aid elgibility is realeased march 23rd) I wonder if everyones updated?

Just got an email saying decisions will be released March 22nd

Me too! freaking out!!!

Ah the email! Does it mean at around 5pm like in previous years? I’m in the UK so I have the time difference…

@greenstudent it says decisions will be posted on the evening of the 22nd. no specific time

well for EDII the results came out at 5:30pm if that helps

Hi! First post on CC ever :slight_smile:
It’s a bit late to say this but I got “likely” from Wellesley last month and I’m waiting for the RD results next week!
I’m an international student from Seoul, and I’m SO paranoid about this situation right now… D:
Does an LL guarantee that I will be accepted? My counselor told me that I have 99.9% chance… but what about that 0.1%? It’s been driving me nuts for weeks.

Help!! Thank you!

Ugh! I’m so stressed! I really need Wellesley to work out because I got rejected from BC, Kenyon, and Colby and I’ve only been accepted to Grinnell, Fordham, and Allegheny. I just REALLY want to go to Wellesley (it’s my #1) and if all these other decisions are indications, I’m about to get a big fat nothing for them. I got a possibly EE though…

does anyone know how likely you are to get rejected from a possible EE? I know you have a 20% of admission, but they also make it seem like you have a really high chance of getting waitlisted, so is it something like 20% admitted, 70% waitlisted, 10% denied?

Is anyone’s portal for the FA section updated? For those of you whose FA section is updated - with the sentence saying FA will be available 03/23, do you think you’re a strong candidate or received a likely from Wellesley??

D=Both a financial aid candidate and rec’d a likely from Wellesley.

“FA available 3/23” is probably not a clue. Everyone probably has it. We have it and didn’t even apply EE-- just plain RD.

I don’t see “FA available 3/23”! Where on the portal is it??

@greenteen17 In your “Application Status Portal,” there is a green box with March 23 in it on the right with the header “Financial Aid Due Dates & Decisions.” Under that it says “Financial Aid Notifications: Eligibility notifications will be made available the morning of Thursday, March 23, 2017.”

Sorry for the short hand! I don’t want to make anyone nervous. I don’t think having this box means anything. I think they’re just letting everyone know that the FA package will not come at the same time as the decision.

In fact, our whole portal is only partially updated. It even says under the checklist that they are still evaluating for ED plans, which, of course isn’t true any more. Everyone will find out March 22 with the FA letter posting the next day.

^ I don’t have a green box or a date or a FA notification anywhere on the portal, do you think it might be because the update isn’t complete yet? Thanks!

I don’t have it either, but I applied really late (a week before the deadline) so maybe they’re working through?
