Wellesley Wait List

Please post when you’ve received a call; i’m really curious to find out who they take and what the call is like!

ahhh omg ;;; i just got off the phone with someone from the admissions office. she said that they expect to start looking at waitlist applicants on friday. best of luck to everyone! we’ll make it!

Thank you for the information! I really hope that there will be rooms for all of us and in the mean time good luck to all who are taking exams :slight_smile:

OMGGGG, so they mean they will start calling applicatns starting Friday?

Hi all,
I’ve been following this thread but never posted. I received a call from Wellesley at noon today telling me I had been admitted off the wailtist(: There is hope❤️ Good luck to all, I’m honestly over the moon - Wellesley was my first choice! So I believe they have already started reviewing the waitlist unlike the above post claims. Good luck

Got a call afternoon, off the waitlist, go Wellesley Class of 2019! Can’t stop smiling.

Hey guys, when you submitted the form to stay on the waitlist, did Wellesley email you a confirmation that you are still on the waitlist? I didn’t get one so now I’m unsure if I submitted the form or not…
Thanks!

Thanks!

hey, I did not get one as well! I am just going to give you the advice to stop worrying or hoping to get off from the waitlist because they have been calling people since yesterday and I personally did not get email or phone calls meaning that I am not going to get off from the waitlist. I think the odds are really against us but I still hope for the best for you :slight_smile:

@seekforluck thanks so much! I hope they’ll give us the information soon since the sooner they tell us, the more time we have to actually make a decision. fingers crossed for you too! :slight_smile:

i feel like i need to send in a copy of my transcript… albeit it is lackluster compared to last semester’s. has anyone else already sent their’s in?

I wish we knew IF we were waiting for a call! I don’t know what to do with myself

Any sign that they are going to notify the possible off the Waitlist applicants soon?

We probably won’t know for a little bit. The list the website sent me to says that they look over all applicants who show interest in staying in the waitlist again because their list isn’t ranked.

i agree

Do you think they’ve already made all offers they plan on making?

I emailed my admissions counselor to get more info and she was super responsive–better than any other counselor I’ve talked to, actually :slight_smile:

So, short answer: No, they haven’t–they’re still making offers.

Long answer: The wait list is probably going to be open until late June but they don’t know when they’ll start offering more students admission or how many students. It all depends on when other schools start going to their waitlists and how that affects their yield.

Also, if anyone is wondering, she said they’re one of the few schools that stays need-blind for wait listed students and we’ll still have the same financial aid package and housing opportunities we would’ve gotten in March. Just make sure you have all of your materials in.

Did anyone else’s MyWellesley change? I can’t access the financial aid checklist anymore. I’m assuming it’s because they’re switching over to new portal site and closing our accounts on 5/31, but just wanted make sure…

I am giving this up!!!

Mine changed too, so probably no reason to worry yet.
