[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a little surprised at the Wellesley denial.  Though selective, it is not as selective as the ivys, and their 75% percentile ACT is only 33, which is below your SAT equivalent.  And unlike some other SLACs, you cannot say that the stats for girls are higher. Maybe that school takes a higher number from ED.  Just curious.  Glad we did not shoot for the ivys.  I do not think we would have had a chance. [/quote]

Wellesley on their class of 2022 -- you need a hook.

"Wellesley received 6,670 first-year applications this year, a 17 percent increase over last year (which was also a 17 percent increase over the previous year). These numbers provide a first glance at the 19 percent of applicants granted admission, the lowest admit rate ever for the College.

Here’s a look at the admitted class of 2022:

The accepted students hail from 955 high schools in 49 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico as well as 41 countries outside the United States.
Fifty-three percent are domestic students of color, identifying as African-American, Asian-American, Latina or Hispanic, or Native American.
Sixteen percent will be the first generation in their families to attend a four-year college.
Eleven percent are international citizens.
Their average SAT score is 1438 and their average ACT score is 32.
Of the students attending high schools that rank, 86 percent are ranked in the top 10 percent of their
graduating classes.
Admitted students include those who applied to Wellesley via the College’s valuable partners QuestBridge and the Posse Foundation, and those who worked with local, community-based organizations that support students in applying to college."[/quote]
