The following is
an overview of the steps you need to take to
apply to Wellesley.
You may apply for
admission under the following plans: |
| Early
Decision |
| |
If
you apply under this binding decision plan,
you must submit all credentials by November
1. Wellesley prefers that you
complete the appropriate SAT Reasoning and
Subject Tests or the ACT with Writing by the
end of your junior year. The last possible
test dates for you to be considered under the
Early Decision plan are in November of your
senior year. In mid-December, the Board of
Admission will notify you of the committee's
decision to admit, deny, or defer applications
for consideration on an equal basis with other
applications under the Regular Decision plan.
You should apply for Early Decision only if
you have a strong high school record and if
you know you will attend Wellesley if accepted. |
| Early
Evaluation |
| |
If your credentials
are complete by January 1, you
may opt for a nonbinding decision plan under
which students get an early indication of their
chances for admission. At the end of February,
students who apply under the Early Evaluation
decision plan receive a letter that lists their
chances for admission as "likely," "possible," or "unlikely." Students
will receive their final decision from the Board
of Admission in April. |
Regular
Decision |
| |
Under this nonbinding
decision plan, you complete the application process
by January 15 of
the year for which you are applying. Decisions
are mailed in April. You must take the SAT Reasoning
Test and two SAT Subject Tests, or the ACT with
Writing before the end of December of your senior
year. Results of tests taken after December will
arrive too late for consideration by the Board
of Admission. |
| Accelerated
Admission |
| |
You can apply
for admission to Wellesley during your junior
year in high school by applying under the Regular
Decision plan. You must complete your application
by January 15 and demonstrate the academic
and personal maturity necessary to compete
with other Regular Decision candidates. |
