Already accepted to Bates & Swarthmore. Just goes to show that anything can happen with admissions, so if you are reading this as a c/o 2023 person don’t let my post or any others get you down.
also, are other waitlisted applicants planning to stay on the waitlist? I’m not sure I will.
I’m not sure whether I’ll stay on the waitlist either @belim99 This is my third waitlist, and if I stayed on any of them, it would definitely be Wellesley’s, but I don’t know if I want to get attached to the school I enroll into and then possibly get an offer from Wellesley in June. MA is also very far away from me…

@keeponreaching on the letter it says it’ll come with the official mailed package, and i think maybe will also be on the portal sometime today
@whereintheworld1 #296 "Accepted - how does one afford Wellesley though??? "
Did you apply for financial aid? Wellesley is very generous, and they have a rather large endowment geared toward making Wellesley affordable for all accepted students.
so we can expect financial aid packages tomorrow right? in 12 hours?
@Marzzz i dont know what time but def tomorrow! portal says
@pilotb757 It’s understandable to be disappointed when receiving a rejection notice. I recently had a discussion with the Dean of Admissions. She shared that the admissions committee rejects many extremely high-performing applicants because they just weren’t a “fit”…meaning that they didn’t see the student thriving in the Wellesley environment.

Best of luck to your daughter wherever she chooses to attend.
@pilotb757 Colleges such as URochester and Wellesley care about more than grades and test scores. For good reason, they want a diverse campus with students from multiple ethnicities.
I honestly cannot believe you are a grown adult whining about a denial. Even for Wellesley, I don’t see how a 1280/31 at face value makes someone unqualified- that student could have had fantastic essays, unique rec letters, or be severely disadvantaged. In any case, Wellesley simply deemed them more qualified than your daughter. Furthermore, since your daughter is half Hispanic, she could have used the URM advantage but chose not to. Please don’t take it out on the thousands of qualified URM accepted to top schools.
