Hey! I recommend looking into Quest Bridge. Wellesley is one of its partners and it was how I learned of Wellesley. I was accepted there a few weeks ago
@@fannyosorio9872 Congrats! That's great advice. I've heard wonderful things about Quest Bridge.
Hi, it’s been a year since you posted to comment, so I’m wondering, did you apply or get in? 💕💕💕
This was really helpful, thanks!
No worries! We love to help :)
This was so so helpful ❤
Thank u so much~ I am thinking about taking Wellesley as my ed1 school and this video really helps me a lot!:)
I'm so glad it helped! Applying ed1 to Wellesley was one of the best decisions I made. Good luck with your applications :))
Hi, it’s been a while since you posted this so I’m wondering, did you apply there ED1 or get in ❤️
Ive completed my common application.Thanks for the video.That was informative.
Thank you very much. Wellesley is my dream school and I intend to choose it as my ed1 school. I am working on it
Thanks for watching! Best of luck with your application :)
Hello, thank you for the video, it was really helpful 💗
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
this is my dream school thank you!
Thanks for watching! :)
I didn't *really* join extracurriculars until my junior year so I wasn't able to be in any leadership positions this year + its really stressing me out :/ now I'm in art club, take guitar lessons and illustrate for the school newspaper, but I still feel like its too little too late
It sounds like you have some great extracurriculars! Colleges care that you're doing activities that you're passionate about. If you're worried about leadership positions, creating your own club could be fun (I did that at the beginning of senior year and it was a great time!). But overall sounds like you're doing a great job and I wouldn't worry about it :)
did it all work out for you?
this was so helpful, thanks alot! how do you like wellesley if you don't mind me asking?
i already vented in another comment, but the fact that my GPA and classes were very similar to yours makes me a little more hopeful. extracurriculars are def lacking for me tho lol
Is the interview after or before admission to the college?
It's two days to the Jan1 st deadline and I'm stressed out because i wanted to schedule an interview but only got to know about Wellesley barely two weeks ago. Is it too late to schedule an interview? I think it is, from the website it says no later than 2 weeks. I need advice. Please help.
Hey! I'm a Junior here at Wellesley, and I interned in admissions this past cycle. I just wanted to let you know that you had nothing to worry about because starting Fall 2021, we no longer offered interviews
Heyy! Hope you're doing well, thank you for the info, it would really helpful 🥰 if you don't mind i have few more questions which I wanna discuss,i am from India , can we have a convo.
MA right?
I ED1ed here and got deferred :(
Sorry to hear that. It's not unusual, and I know several students who were accepted after a deferral! Hope things work out :)
Did you get accepted?
@@PreetiJulian i got deferred too this year for my ED and i lost hope
GPA and testing should be considered discriminatory. Not all people have the ability to get an education until college due to the reality that not everyone came from a supportive environment.
I think the reason for gpa and testing are to make sure that a student is adequately prepared to take college level courses, and has the foundation to thrive at the colleges they apply to. I agree that the US standardized testing and grading systems are unfair, and often catered towards the privileged, but I also think that they are an objective (or at least the most objective of all of the factors in college admissions) way to make sure a student is going to be able to succeed in the college. If a student's GPA and testing reflect severe gaps in learning and education, that might be a sign that college is not the path for them at that particular moment (and not going to college/ not pursuing higher education right away shouldn't be stigmatized- everyone's journey and goals are different ofc). So I think that there are definitely issues that need to be addressed in the US education system, but I don't think that means we should eliminate GPA and testing metrics altogether.
