<p>I was actually very disappointed. I’m from a large public Californian high school (750 in my graduating class), so all my friends were really surprised when i told them i was applying to east coast colleges. They found it even more surprising when i told them Wellesley was one of my top choices, since its an all girl school. I was actually not expecting a “likely” but a “possible” and sadly thats not what happened. These are my stats:</p>
<p>SATs: I didn’t submit them, but they were in the 1900’s
ACT: 28
AP/IB taken/scores: Chemistry (2), Calculus AB (5).
My school offers a restriction of 3 AP’s per a student, and sophomores can only take 1 AP.
I’m currently taking 2 AP’s (Government AP and Calculus BC), but all my other courses are taken at the honors level.

<p>I was really hoping that my extracurriculars would help me because thats what my interviewer said, but i guess, im not academically strong enough for wellesley. But i believe that everything happens for a reason, so if i dont get into wellesley, then i dont get it in! its not the end of the world. I applied to about 15 schools this year and i’ve recieved acceptance letters from others! hopefully many more others will come for me and for you too! dont be upset! theres a place for everyone</p>
