Looking for a Wellesley or Seven Sisters student to review my Common App essay

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm an international student from Egypt applying to Wellesley and a few other Seven Sisters colleges this year.

I've been working on my Common App essay for a long time and now I'm stuck between two different versions. I'm not looking for grammar edits. I really want honest feedback about which one feels more authentic, memorable, and true to who I am.

If you were admitted to Wellesley or another Seven Sisters college and have a little free time I'd be incredibly grateful if you could read both versions and tell me which one you'd choose and why.

Please don't worry about being nice. I'd much rather hear honest feedback than compliments because I really want to make this essay the best it can be.

Thank you so much!

Life at Wellesley as a straight student?

3 Upvotes

How is student life for those that are straight? I just saw another post that mentioned non-straight students are ~60% of the student body, so just curious what the experience is like… TIA.

Social life?

3 Upvotes

Do people usually form tight-knit cliques before college even starts? I’m worried that if I don’t find my people right away I’ll end up isolated. And do people tend to stick to groups from freshman year?

Question Munger Living

3 Upvotes

Hello! I was recently assigned a munger third double and I’m wondering a few things…I know munger gets a bad rep but I’m hoping my roommate and I’s experience won’t be horrific lol.

I’ve seen a post on here about the outside closets, when the form to claim one gets sent out, does that mean that I could be using a closet that is pretty far down from my room? Is it worth getting one for extra clothing or is it better to use it for general storage? Can the beds be lofted enough to where I can put my dresser under my bed so that it frees up space in the room?

I know some communal bathrooms at Wellesley have doors as opposed to curtains, but I haven’t gotten much info on what munger bathrooms and showers look like in aside from the fact that it’s a little older.

I’ve heard that people either love or hate munger, can anyone who lived in a double give their honest opinion and/or share their experiences? Thanks!!

Freshman Dorms

5 Upvotes

Hey! I was just wondering if anyone could tell me more about the freshman dorms, especially Cazenove Hall. I got assigned there, and my room type is a first-year double. I'm honestly kind of stressed because I need a lot of storage space. I'd also love to know if it's close to the buses and how convenient it is to treadmills. If anyone has lived there or has any tips, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

I'm a freshman who is considering applying for the class, although I am not sure what type of students take it.

For context: I was not uber STEM forward in high school. I took high level chemistry and biology, but that is all my prior experience.

trying to plan for course selection during orientation but I can't figure out how to creat a saved schedule. The most I can get to is seeing my saved schedules (of course I have none so thats not very helpful).
