Transfer Applicants
To apply to Wellesley College as a transfer, we recommend that you go to the Common Application website to complete both the Wellesley College Supplement plus the Common Application.
Process
You will need to submit the Wellesley Transfer Supplement first, then the Common Application for Transfers.
Note: You may download and print a PDF of the Wellesley Transfer Supplement. However, there is a $50 application fee to submit paper; the fee is waived if you apply online.
Required Credentials
In addition to the Common App and Supplement, the following credentials are required.
1. High School Transcript
You will need to submit an official transcript from the high school from which you graduated. If you received a High School Certificate of Equivalency, official G.E.D. scores and a high school transcript for the years you attended are required. Although we require your final high school transcript, we do not need the Secondary School Report.
2. College Transcript
You will need to submit official transcripts from all colleges and universities you have attended. The form for requesting this information should be sent to the Registrar of the colleges you attended. You should check with the school for procedures and fee information before requesting a transcript. Transcripts must be sent directly from the college.
3. College Official's Form
If you are currently enrolled at a college, please submit the College Official's Form.
4. College Instructor Evaluation
Two evaluations/recommendations are required. Please send an evaluation form to each person you intend on using as a reference. Recent academic evaluations are preferred. If you have been out of school for several years and are therefore unable to obtain academic evaluations, you may submit one from an employer or supervisor in community activities where you have worked. Evaluations/recommendations from friends and relatives are discouraged.
5. Mid-Term Report (only if you are currently taking courses)
The Mid-Term Report must be completed by any applicant who is currently enrolled in courses. Please list the courses that you will be taking during the spring semester on this form and return it to our office by March 20. The point of the form is for us to get a sense of how you are doing in your current coursework, so it helps to have it filled out closer to mid-terms. If you turn in a form with no grades, it will not be considered in your file.
6. Official SAT Reasoning or ACT scores
Results must be released to Wellesley College from the testing agency. SAT Subject Tests are not required of transfers, but may be sent as supplemental material. Contact the testing agency for info about dates, times, and examination centers. Applicants are responsible for requesting The College Board or ACT to send scores directly to Wellesley College. (The College Board school code for Wellesley is 3957. The ACT school code for Wellesley is 1926.) If you have applied previously to Wellesley, you do not need to resend your scores. Please note: SAT or ACT scores are not required for applicants currently enrolled in community colleges.
Deadlines
The deadline for transfers to apply for fall entrance is March 1; the deadline for spring entrance is November 1.
International students who are attending U.S. institutions and are seeking financial aid may only apply for fall entrance and must submit their admission application by January 15.
