[/ul]

General comments/advice/hindsight: Wellesley seems to be one of the schools that takes the pledge of looking at applications holistically seriously. I’m thrilled to have received likely, and so honored! To those who didn’t receive what they thought they might have, the process is tricky and unpredictable. A lot of my decisions do not line up, but it will all work out!
