Wellesley College Class of 2015- Early Decision

<p>Hmm… I think the break down average is a little bit lower than 700 for each section, I am not sure if that says anything.</p>

<p>I am retaking SAT I the day after tomorrow!!! I am nervous…</p>

<p>Thank you! Good luck to your D too!</p>

<p>Good luck 11Wangs! I’m taking my SAT II subject tests this Saturday:D
Then I will finally be done with those horrid standardized tests.
Oh, is anyone willing to post up their Wellesley supplement? I want to know how mine sounds compared to others.</p>

<p>HI EVERYONE!
I applied ED too! (:
Where is everyone from?</p>

<p>Orlando, Florida!</p>

<p>I’m from China. Australian born Chinese actually.
I go to an International School in China. (:
I’m so anxious about my app, cant wait till December.</p>

<p>NYC representinnn</p>

<p>@Bonni1993 cool!! I’m originally from Taiwan, moved to America at 14 :slight_smile: we could be buddies! Do you speak Mandarin? :)</p>

<p>@SinFused
Haha of course! I speak Mandarin at home (:</p>

<p>@bonni1993
Sweet~ I don’t meet a lot of people who speak Mandarin, so I get really excited haha</p>

<p>@all
I wonder how many applied to ED, usually it’s around 200 or so, but I have a feeling that more applied this year.</p>

<p>@SinFused
Haha, my school is dominated by asians.
Hmm, why do you think more than 200 something applied?</p>

<p>@bonni1993 hmmm I’m not really sure
but for class of 2013, they only had 204 applicants, last year had around 218, so I’m anticipating a tad more this year. </p>

<p>did all of you have interviews?
I thought the interviews should be really helpful towards the app as long as we represented ourselves well and impressed the interviewer~</p>

<p>Those of you who are worried about your SAT scores, don’t worry! haha I was talking to the admissions counselor at Wellesley, and she told me as much as the scores matter, Wellesley mainly focuses on our classes taken, our app essays, leadership, and what people have to say about us (recs). So if you feel like you’ve achieved these areas well, you don’t need to panic so much.
at least that’s what I tell myself LOL ;p</p>

<p>They just want someone who is smart AND able to contribute to the Wellesley community</p>

<p>I didn’t have an interview. ):
My SAT scores are not that strong either, and Im taking 2 SAT2s this saturday.
@ SinFused - What SAT2s did you take? Also, what did Wellesley tell you about how much they focus on GPA (my freshman grades were terrible)? Do you take AP or IB?</p>

<p>yeah same here, my SAT is in the low 2000s, which is around Wellesley’s mean score, but I would rather have it be higher~
I took math and bio, both were not very high ):</p>

<p>I think in general, as long as you showed an upward curve towards your grade, you should be fine (: dont stress too much on it~ </p>

<p>i’m in IB, but I also take AP classes as “electives” lol</p>

<p>I took Math2, not really happy with my score. lol. I’m gonna take Physics and Chinese this saturday. Major cramming.
I take IB Diploma (: What are your courses? do you have a predicted score yet?</p>

<p>i’m taking IB eng 4, chem, contemporary hist, ToK, psych, HL spanish, Math Studies.
I dont know my predicted score, but the tests i’m taking this May will be HL Eng, HL Hist, HL Spanish, SL Math, SL psych.
My EE is due next monday haha I still have to revise it a little~~</p>

<p>My topic was: The Social, economic, and Political Factors from 1911 to 1949 to which the Chinese Communist Party was able to gain power and ultimately take over Mainland China</p>

<p>what was yours?</p>

<p>My topic was
To What Extent does an Artist’s Physical Disabilities Help or Hinder their Artistic Development?</p>

<p>That sounds very TOK like, I just realized HAHA.
Hmm, your school is different from mine. we take the courses that we will take the tests in so our teacher has our predicted grades already. xD</p>

<p>lol it IS very ToK! that class is both annoying and interesting haha gotta love it.</p>

<p>I wish I have my predicted grade, I’ve been predicting everything on my own and I don’t know if it’s even accurate or not~~D:</p>

<p>haha I love TOK. I hate the OP though D<
LOL. what are you predicting for yourself? Are you applying to anywhere else other an US?</p>

<p>im predicting around 31 without the Tok and EE score~ </p>

<p>and nope, I’m applying to all U.S. schools, I cant afford to go outside of the country lol
What other schools are you applying to?
(I might reply much later, cuz i need to go to bed now haha, CC is too addicting)</p>
