I definitely think you stand a chance, especially since your SATIIs are high (and the writing one is much higher than the verbal, which is good). I suggest keep doing what you're doing, retake the SATI (not too many times, though! ), and if Wellesley is truly your first choice, apply early decision this fall. I'd also be certain to make the essays really good, and if you're still concerned, perhaps get a recommendation from an English teacher.

Good luck!

Hey You're korean? ^^ I wouldn't stress too much about your verbal..you should probably opt for the TOEFL since it is a test designed for people who speak English as a second language. Your other SAT score and SAT II scores are extremely high which is why I still think you have a good shot.
