Once you choose a decision plan, it's time to start gathering your application materials. To apply, you'll need:

💻 The Application - You'll find Wellesley on both the Common Application and the Coalition Application. Simply fill out the required fields, upload the required materials, and hit submit.

📝 The Personal Essay - This essay can address prompts on either the Common or Coalition applications or a prompt of your own choice. It should be 250 to 650 words and should give us a window into who you are as a person.

💌 The Wellesley Supplement - In 250-400 words, address the following question: ‘Wellesley students actively seek ways to build bridges and to change the world for the better. Tell us about an experience working with and alongside people of different backgrounds and/or perspectives from your own. Why was this important to you, and what lessons from this will you bring with you to Wellesley?'

🎓 High School Credentials - In addition to the application and essays, we require your high school transcripts, two letters of recommendation from teachers that know you well, and a school report completed by your college counselor.
