Is there an established gc on insta, etc. For the class of 2030? I haven't been able to find one.

i just saw that they sent out tote bags & stickers (as well as physical acceptance letters) way back when everyone got in RD. i’m someone who got in off the waitlist and would really like to get a tote + a physical letter if possible 🥹

any insight?

Hello! I know the transfer pool is quite small compared to first-years, so I haven't seen much talk about our waitlist. Has anyone from the last cycle 2025-2026 gotten off the transfer waitlist? 2024-2025?

How big is the transfer class usually?

which one should I choose? I loved the campus of both and the LAC experience, and I can’t decide between the two.
I’ll be entering as a junior, so not sure which school is better for transitioning. I’m an economics major but also hoping to double in environmental studies, particularly environmental policy.
I love Wellesley’s vibe but the ES major there seems pretty science-heavy. Anyone know what the environment-related programs at Tufts are like?
I’m also open to exploring other majors at Wellesley like comparative lit, anthropology, or history.
Also curious how research and campus involvement opportunities are like for transfers at both schools!

Since those grades don’t appear on my transcript, i’m wanting to get some of the harder requirements out of the way.

for context, i’m not great at math and science stuff so i was thinking of taking calc and a lab. any lab recs?? any other classes i should probs get out of the way before the grades go on my transcript?

hi everyone! i just got accepted to wellesley and am thrilled! i have a few questions i was hoping current students could help with:

1. what is your experience like with social life at wellesley? are people generally outgoing, whats the work/life balance like?
2. are there things to do in the area? do people generally stay on campus
3. i know wellesley is not exactly a party school but do people go out?

academically i know it's amazing but i'm very social and part of the reason i'm transferring is because the social and campus culture at my current school is awful. thank you so much for your help!! :)

CAN SOMEONE PLS CALL WELLESLEY TO INQUIRE ABOUT WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE IN INTLS FROM THE WAITLIST🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

the situation is basically that my parents are divorced (10+ years) and i was raised mostly by my mother whose income is less than 45k a year while my father makes over 100k a year.

my financial aid puts the out of pocket price at around 18k and im planning to appeal to see if i can get it any lower but id like some advice for what exactly i should appeal to:

1. if i explain that my father will not contribute anything towards my tuition will they care at all or do they strictly consider legal family assets and not parents willingness to contribute

2. since my aid is entirely based on my fathers income, should i mention incidents that affect this i.e. his car getting totaled, another car having to get repaired and not being covered by insurance , his water bill increasing to 1k a month ETC

any insight from students who have successfully appealed is greatly appreciated

I'm a transfer student from Brandeis university this year and I just got waitlisted recently. Wellesley is my dream school ever since elementary school and I realllllly wanna seize what ever I got to try and get in. Can anyone who got waitlisted and accepted afterward share what they done to get into Wellesley???(LOCI, info update, LOR update etc.)

I cross registered in Wellesley this semester for a minor related course and I'm probably getting an A or A- on the course, I'm thinking abt getting the professor to write a rec letter for me but idk if it's necessary as I don't think the professor knows me that well beside class participation and stuff.
I'm also thinking about making a video portfolio but I'm not sure if Wellesley accepts any of that.

Is there anything else I can do and how should I write my LOCI????TvTTvT

not a current undegrad theres limited information i could find about it online but when i toured the tour guide mentioned it and i didnt get the chance to ask more questions so im wondering how that works and how one is accepted to that program?

Wellesley 2030 (I think) It’s super expensive but I want to go so badly…🥲🥲💙💙💙

i have a group of 3 ppl (including me) who all wanna room tg! ik we can request roommates, but can we request a triple/quad?

as title says, debating between the two. just wanted to see any thoughts! both have been a dream to get into, and i’d be leaving from ucsd. i’d be on the pre med track, and just wanted to get any insight between the two. thanks for any input!

Is any international student accepted from the waitlist? If so, when?

Also, does anyone know when they’ll start accepting intls because I’ve only seen domestic students getting accepted.

Wondering if there’s any parking/if there’d be any significant use

Hi! I’m a student attending an international school. I’m not in the international pool, but I’m considered out-of-state. I filled out my waitlist form and sent my LOCI on April 1st, then updated my activities and final grades at the end of April.

I’ve seen online that a few domestic students have gotten off the waitlist for the Class of 2030, but I haven’t seen any international students get off yet. I also realized that Wellesley has admissions counselors who are each in charge of different states or countries, so maybe waitlist decisions are released by region or counselor?

I’m desperately waiting and really hoping to be accepted, but I’m starting to feel very discouraged. Do I still have a chance?

i just got accepted to wellesley as a sophomore transfer (yay) and i intend to major in neuroscience as a pre med

i honestly havent researched much into wellesley and the opportunities available so i wanted to know if there are any specific opportunities for sophomore transfer students since i know many first year programs and the sophomore early research will be unavailable to me

also if anyone who has transferred as a pre med has any advice for me for getting into labs and research opportunities, acclimatizing to the rigor of the school, shadowing clinical and internship opportunities in boston etc that would be greatly appreciated

thank you!

Commitment date for Wellesley is June 1st, so I'm assuming that waitlist movement would start to happen soon after that date? Can any former waitlisted transfers that got in remember when you got the offer?
