Wellesley College Waitlist ('22)

Anyone hear anything?

In previous year threads, people started hearing around May 6.

hey what did you guys write for your LOCI?

I wrote some updates about my extracurriculars and why I would definitely attend if I got off the waitlist. @isthisboreal

Oh sorry! I meant anyone get anymore instructions for the waitlist?

Has anyone heard back yet? I’ve committed to another school, but I don’t want to pay for orientation or anything other than required deposits until I hear back, I know it will probably be a no, but I submitted another letter of rec and a short LOCI.

When my D got off Wellesley’s waitlist several years ago, she was notified in early June. I would not recommend putting off making deposits, because they don’t go to the waitlist every year.

Just to let everyone know, there was a girl on the class of 2022 group me who was accepted off of the waitlist I think either yesterday or 2 days ago. Good luck to you all!

@KatherineLGrace Is she the same student who was asking for advise on choosing between Wellesley and Tufts? I saw several threads about the same topic posted yesterday. ;))

@Dreamlessnewmember Based on the initials in the username of the girl who posted on the tufts page I would assume not, and she didn’t mention anything about deciding between two schools in the GroupMe. It is a possibility though but I’m not sure!

Ommo! I wish for everything to end fast. Being dragged along since November. Arghhhh [-O<

@KatherineLGrace did she happen to mention how she was notified (email, post on MyWellesley portal)?

@PhilipM Nope- sorry. It sounds like she is committed though since she was looking for a roommate. I think the common method is by phone call but I’m not sure about that

Does anyone know how much time we would have if we were admitted off the waitlist to decide? Like 24 hours? A week? I’m very new to this as I’m the oldest in my family and I don’t know anyone who has been admitted off a waitlist.

It was several years ago now, but when my daughter was contacted, they called on a Monday, sent us the financial aid info on Tuesday, and asked for a decision by Thursday.

Does anyone know if I should send additional essay besides from the new rec and LoCI I am sending?
I don’t want to annoy them as they’ve already received additional resume and other materials from me, but I also want to seize all the opportunity to show them who I am.

Hey guys to whom have you addressed I mean emailed your LOCI and updates? I have been sending mails to applicant@wellesley.edu but haven’t heard anything back from them and Wellesley. Did you receive confirmation mail of shorts like anything in reply after sending your LOCI? I fear my LOCI never reached the admission officials. This waiting game is killing me when already know that all I would have is NO for an answer.

Same here, I emailed my LoCI to the that email and never heard back.
I did receive an auto mail saying the office tries their best to reply in 3-5 business day though.
I am thinking mailing the LoCI in this weekend if still no reply. Really want to show my interests and hope my letter will reach in time.

Did anyone hear anything yet?

I haven’t but at least someone should have gotten off the wait list by now. I am afraid may be wellesley won’t be touching the wait list this year? Other wise its already mid of third week of May.
