<p>Speaking as a member of the class of 2014, I really think you have a good chance. If you aren’t sure about ED, then you probably shouldn’t go that route. But if you really love Wellesley, go ahead. :)</p>

<p>I’d say your chances are pretty good, especially if you apply ED. Just bring up your Writing score on the SAT I… Study a lot of vocabulary. Your SAT II Math is a bit iffy, but your EC’s will probably help you.</p>

<p>Iwittgenstein, I can’t tell you how much I want to go to Wellesley!! It’s like falling in love but better lol
congrats to getting accepted to Wellesley btw :)</p>

<p>gotjjs, thanks for the advice :slight_smile: since I only have one more chance to take the SATs before ED deadline, I think I’ll go ahead and improve my SAT I score, as to my SAT II lol god help me.</p>

6

<p>again. bring up your writing score on the sat I and that should boost your chances. everything else looks pretty good :)</p>

<p>If you really love Wellesley, then ED is definitely the right path!</p>

<p>I am a member of the class of 2014, and I got in ED with stats far less impressive then yours.
Have you had/considered an interview? Interviews can really help to give that extra little something to your application.</p>

<p>yup, i think i might do an interview late september~
thanks so much for advice and words :slight_smile: Congrats to being accepted to Wellesley! Hope I can join you next year haha</p>
