Trans women at Wellesley?

<p>I would inquire directly at the admissions office, but I don’t believe there has been a transwoman student at Wellesley and common agreement seems to be that the chances of acceptance are iffy at best. I don’t think there is an official policy, though, and it may not be that anyone has really pushed the issue. I know that is not a very satisfactory answer, but I think it is the best anyone not employed in the admissions office can reasonably give. I can say that vocal campus opinion supports the admissions of transwomen (hundreds of people, including many professors from diverse departments, signed the petition against the admissions office’s policy with regards to Tim), but of course administrative decisions do not always step in line with popular opinion. I do think it is a matter of time because I really doubt that the student body is going to become more conservative on this issue and thus as time passes more and more students and alums will support the admittance of transwomen. The question for you, of course, is how soon that time comes, and again I doubt that anyone not in the admissions office/administration in general can give you a meaningful answer.</p>
