Essays: I can’t honestly say whether or not they were amazing…but for my Why Wellesley I honestly just put what I thought why Wellesley would make me into a better person and a better student. I had fun writing my Common App essay! I wrote about my mother singing opera in the supermarket ;D
Teacher Recommendation: I got one from my Calc teacher who had me for fmy reshman and junior year. We’re pretty close and I’ve clearly demonstrated my work ethic in his class. I also got one from my Psych teacher who is also the adviser for the club I’m the president of.
Counselor Rec: It’s the standard “fill out this form and I’ll write one for you” kinda thing since my class is so ginormous.
Interview: It lasted for an hour and a half O_O I’m not sure what to think of it, but I think that it went relatively well.

Reflection: I don’t think I could have done anything to improve my application! I’m perfectly content with Wellesley’s decision, and although it has been my dream school for a really long time… I’m okay with being a “possibly”. I think it’s just not the right school for me…it seems super duper intense and I really don’t want to be in the same environment as my ultra competitive hs for another 4 years.

Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/rejected: I think I got a possibly because of my GPA. And because a lot of other highly statted girls from my hs also applied…
Where else were you accepted/waitlisted/rejected: Early write from Smith so far :)
