Wellesley Wait List

@onward2745 hopefully not because I just sent mine in…

Hi everyone,

I am also stuck in the limbo and hopefully it will soon be over with good news! Good luck to everyone in the same phase as I am. I know exactly how it feels to be waitlisted at the school of your top choice. I just want to know if they will announce us the result around the first week of May?

Sincerely yours,
Seekforluck person

Same here!

@chocolatexc I called my regional counselor and she asked me for my latest grade. So, I asked here the time frame of the deadline that I could still send in materials and she said until the first week of May. Hope it was helpful!

@seekforluck do you have to send latest grades?! i just sent several updates

@ihihihi I have actually sent in several updates. I sent in my letter of interest on 29of March and have been updating weekly since then with my new achievements (like summer interns and etc). I am an international student taking IB courses :slight_smile: let me know if I can help you with anything :slight_smile:

To answer your question, you don’t need to but she asked from me so I could not really say no.

does anyone think wellesley will even go to waitlist this yr?

i’m staying hopeful! although there are no guarantees, my friend (who’s in the wellesley class of 2019 fb group) did say that there are girls deciding between wellesley and johns hopkins, wellesley and uchicago, wellesley and northwestern, wellesley and cornell, etc. i’m not sure if they’ll admit as many as they did last year, but i imagine that wellesley will go to the waitlist this year.

@littlemissbang do you know when we will be able to hear good news ?

@seekforluck sorry! no clue! i’ve heard people say that the earliest they heard back was in the first week of may; others say third week of may. i believe the latest we’ll hear back is june 30th though ;;;

Thanks! It was definitely an helpful answer. If I don’t hear by 8th of May, I am going to take it as a rejection :wink:

Since hopefully this week will be a big week for some of us, good luck!

best of luck to you as well, @chocolatexc!
quick question to all that have submitted additional materials to the admissions office: am i the only one not getting a reply after i sent in my letter of continued interest… ?

I haven’t gotten a reply or anything either. I’m actually thinking of calling tomorrow afternoon to make sure they got it and I’m also hoping that’ll help me stand out a little more if I verbally speak with them instead of just emails and letters.

I received an email from my counselor saying she received my letter, it took a day or two I believe.

is a letter all you guys sent? or were there more?

@ihihihi I sent in a letter and in two essays that I’ve written. It might have been overkill, but I didn’t want to feel like I was just giving up.

i sent in a letter of continued interest and had my ap lit teacher write another recommendation for me ((she’s a wellesley alum)). i’m considering sending in an analysis that i had to turn in a couple of days ago; although, i’m just not sure if it’s /good enough/ haha.

i haven’t gotten any response about my letter though, so i think i might give them a call in the next couple of days ;;;
