<p>I think it’s pretty common, after the initial excitement of “I got in!” to then worry “what if I’m not good enough.” My D had a similar ACT score, GPA, APs, EC activities and also graduated from a HS that’s in a low income area, has a low graduation rate, and due to performance is eligible for federal grants. And yes, she had a similar panic moment of wondering if she was up to the challenge.</p>
<p>She has found Wellesley rigorous and works very hard, but she is doing well. It was a big adjustment for her to not automatically get As in everything, but she has received some As and several A- grades. She seeks out help from study groups, tutoring centers, professors, etc. and has done fine.</p>
<p>I think you will be fine, too! My daughter loves Wellesley and feels so fortunate to be there. Best wishes!</p>
