Just thought I’d make an official thread for those of us Wellesley waitlistees…best wishes to everyone!
Did anyone send in any additional info?
I haven’t yet, but I’m hoping to send in my letter of interest this weekend and another recommendation. Anyone have any other ideas of information to send?
I got an email just now regarding waitlist kids - they didnt say much, the email told me to check my “materials checklist” and to email them if I have any questions. Anybody know how I can check my “materials checklist”? i logged into my account but im not sure where it is
@linneaalexia - I sent a package to them a week ago with a writing award i recently won, my updated grades, and a general letter of interest. My friend sent something similar to them as well, idk if there’s anything else that would be of use.
Soooo, the admissions office just told me that they’re not sure right now if they’re going to the waiting list, because they need to see what the class size will be like, and if the other schools will be going to their lists. Hopefully they do though.
Finger crossed that they will go to their waitlists…
any idea if they communicate a reject / “waitlist closed” decision by a certain final date to people, or you’re just expected to keep checking your email and hoping indefinitely ?
@godot786 they tell you that you’re rejected by like Jun 30th
thanks @staarman - and that can create timeline problems for an international student like me…as there is a process for visa, interviews etc which is unpredictable…starting the process after june 30 would mean cutting things too fine with respect to the start of the term
have written to wellesley on the same
@godot786 You should apply for a visa as soon as possible with your current choice and apply again if admitted from the wait list, or you’ll more likely run out of time.
thanks @chingchingli …however the college needs to do I-20 formalities with the immigration authorities first which cant be be aborted, so once you’ve started the process with one college then you’re practically bound to that one…anyhow i dont intend to wait till june 30 for wellesley !
Have any of you guys gotten any replies to your letters yet? I just got an email saying they aren’t sure if they’ll go to waitlist this year
I didn’t get any email…
when did you send out your letter @staarman ?
@carradio I sent it last Tuesday. When did you send yours?
I got an email that said they are just starting to decide if they “will be making any movement to the waitlist” is that the same that you all got?
I’m not getting any of these emails?
@staarman Last friday. It was a very neutral email. Im terrified they wont go to waitlist this year
Ik I clicked the button to remain on the waitlist but I am getting none of these emails!? I sent in supplemental essays and stuff but they haven’t said anything regarding whether they will be giving offers
