Tip #1

Get organized. Chart admission and financial aid deadlines; leave space for your deadline date and completion date, based on your decision plan.

Tip #2

Read the instructions for Wellesley's requirements and the Common Application thoroughly before completing your application. Relax and don't worry; be yourself in your application.

Tip #3

Apply for financial aid at the same time you are applying for admission; submit the financial aid application by the stated deadline for your chosen decision plan.

Tip #4

If you plan to submit an art or music supplement, check these deadlines too, as they tend to be earlier than application deadlines. Please include an art or music resume with your supplement.
