<p>Unfortunately, checking that you are female when you are not qualifies as lying on your application, which is as bad as misrepresenting your grades, extracurriculars or SAT scores and grounds for rescinding any admission offer that gets made. You would eventually be discovered, not the least because of the pronouns used in your recommendation letters.</p>
<p>I will warn you now that being male at Wellesley is not the novelty one might guess based solely on the info that Wellesley is a women’s college. Wellesley is neither isolated, nor a nunnery, nor is there a no-boys-allowed rule. While Wellesley does not grant degrees to male students, male students can, have and do cross register at Wellesley in a variety of ways.</p>
<p>There is the 12 COLLEGE EXCHANGE which allows you to spend a semester or year at Wellesley if you are a student at a select group of schools: [12-College</a> Exchange Handbook](<a href=“http://www.wellesley.edu/OIS/USStudy/12collegeexchangemanual.html]12-College”>http://www.wellesley.edu/OIS/USStudy/12collegeexchangemanual.html)</p>
<p>You may CROSS REGISTER at Wellesley if you are a student at MIT, Brandeis, Babson or Olin College. The largest number of cross-registered students are from Olin.</p>
<p>WELLESLEY SUMMER SCHOOL is coeducational.
