I am an international applicant to Wellesley College, from China. But I waws put into the waitlist pool. I am really disappointed cuz Wellesley is really my first dream choice. I am also applying to Columbia College, Yale, and Boston University as a transfer. So...I would wait more time to get their decisions?

anybody who is applying W and will not go?

Thanks

Have you taken any SATs?

Are you a chinese citizen?

My SAT 1330, just rejected from MIT

By Kw_Michelle (Kw_Michelle) on Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 08:37 pm: Edit

I Haven't cuz I didn't know there was a SAT center in Shanghai, China. I live in Beijing now. So... I just took TOEFL-637.

I am a Chinese citizen, of course, are you?

By Amylase (Amylase) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 01:24 am: Edit

Yup.

But i did my stuffs here in the US.
I've been here for a while.
I didn't took TOEFL, cause i thought that's not for me(easy).

I just got rejected from MIT and stanford.

So you only took a TOEFL?

Have you got any impressive awards?

you said you are a transfer, so you must be already in a college in china.

not to discourage you, but i know a lot smart internationals with good stats got turned down.

My stats were not teffibly bad, but i already got three rejections!
not even waitlisted, flat out rejected!

anyway good luck to your college hunt, and your answers to above questions are highly appreciated.

By Amylase (Amylase) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 01:38 am: Edit

By the way, did you applied as a transfer to all those colleges?

Yale decision will be available online tomorrow, please get it posted.

thanks

just to give u guys some addtional infos:

ususally, they might have given u a higher requirements than resident of dat state... or citizen sometimes -.-

1330 of SAT I will obviously get rejected... (not trying to discourage u ^^, but truth)

by da way... remind ya dat u must also take SAT II in order to apply some of skools ^^

alrite... here's another chinese ^^

By Amylase (Amylase) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 02:23 am: Edit

I did,

SAT II Physics 800
SAT II math iic 790
SAT II bio 790

where are you heading?

By Kw_Michelle (Kw_Michelle) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 03:44 am: Edit

Amy...I did apply all those college as a transfer, so.. i think Yale's track application online that is availabe now is n't for transfer. I stil have to wait.

I took TOEFl and GRE,
TOEFL 637, 5.5 TWE
GRE 2335.

I understand the requirements for intl students would be really high. but I won't give up Wellesley. also, I have assureed them that I wish to stay on the waiting list, mentioned HEARTILY that W is top choice.

I had interview w/ Wellesley last year. Do you think it worked?

Amy...best of luck. And what other schools you still wait?

Wish....do you have some encourage suggestion? what I should do now? besides, some truth discouragement

By Amylase (Amylase) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 05:09 am: Edit

transfer admissions is pretty different from freshmen admissions. I don't know much about it.

But since you wantta to get in wellesley, you should definitely send them something impressive to persuade them pick you out of the waitlist.

I'm waiting for yale and harvard. I'm almost sure they will reject me. I'll know tomorrow.

Good luck

By Kw_Michelle (Kw_Michelle) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 06:37 am: Edit

sure, I am going to send them something impressive. but I am just wondering what is something highly impressive !! recommendation? or transcript, scores? or new honors and awards? Perhaps. Everything I consider as impressive things they may treat as unusefulness.


Please give me some....idears.

I thought I sent many impressive supports.
Now, I am really disappointed.

Tomorrow maybe a big day for you. Best of Luck

Hey have you seen Yanhao's profile yet?

He looks smart, doesn't he?

By Kw_Michelle (Kw_Michelle) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 08:42 am: Edit

Whats mean He looks smart. I did see his profile just now. Looks handsome. How you could see looks smart. We dont know.... whether he is smart just looking his picture.

But sounds smart. Because he will apply Yale, Harvard, blah blah blah... when he is a high school student.

Hey, Yanhao, is the picture in your profile really yours?

By Amylase (Amylase) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 08:48 am: Edit

Sound smart?
no,

Applying to top schools does not necessarily imply smart, because he can get rejected.

I applied to only elite schools, but already rejected by MIT, Stanford.

By Amylase (Amylase) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 08:52 am: Edit

Yanhao,

Not to discourage you, but aiming high is good, but almost all the guys rejected from are as good as, if not better than you. You gotta pick some safety schools.

Get rejected from those schools is extremely easy.

I got rejected from Stanford and MIT.
rejected, not even waitlisted, flat out rejected!!

By Gettingnowhere (Gettingnowhere) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 05:08 pm: Edit

I got waitlisted at MIT, but was accepted to Northwestern University McCormick School of Engineering, where I'm very likely to end up. Good luck to all of you waiting for decisions!

By Gettingnowhere (Gettingnowhere) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 05:16 pm: Edit

Also waitlisted at UPenn.

By Amylase (Amylase) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 06:17 pm: Edit

what are your stats?

from china?

By Gettingnowhere (Gettingnowhere) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 11:21 pm: Edit

I'm Chinese but also a PR of the US so I'm not classified as an international student.

STATS:
1370 SAT I(570V+800M)
SAT II's: 800's in Math 2C, Physics and Chinese. 760 in Chemistry and 600 in Writing(messed up my essay)
TOEFL: 287/300 (663)
GPA 4.0 uw, rank 4/194
Won some awards in local and statewide math contests.

I'd lived in the US for 1 year when I applied to colleges. Which part of China are you from?

By Amylase (Amylase) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 11:28 pm: Edit

I spend my time in both US and CHina, but i'm not yet a permanant resident, so i'm international.

How did you get your permanent residency?

By Gettingnowhere (Gettingnowhere) on Wednesday, April 02, 2003 - 11:30 pm: Edit

I'm an immigrant.

When did you come to the US?

It was really amazing, cuz I was in China that day, and a staff of W's admission office called at my home......to tell me such a wonderful news.

I live SF now, and probably will fly to Boston in mid Aug.
