Hello, smart, interesting person.
You’re here! We’re here! It’s kismet!
A few things to keep in mind: First, getting into a college isn’t proof of your excellence—you’re already an excellent human being. Second, this process shouldn't feel like an existential burden; it should feel like an opportunity to remind yourself of who you really are. Third, there’s no fee to apply to Wellesley. Fees are barriers, and we’re all about breaking down barriers.
If a severe weather or a community crisis delays your application, ability to sit for standardized tests, or your school's ability to send required materials, don't panic! Simply let the Admission Office know when we might expect your application materials. Please send us an email at applicant@wellesley.edu from the same email address you are using for your application.
