  Position Summary

  Wellesley’s admission process is based on a thorough, detailed, and holistic evaluation of each candidate for admission.

  The seasonal reader will work in partnership with the admission counselors in reviewing the applications of candidates for admission. The team based reading process involves analyzing credentials, reviewing recommendations, personal essays, and other application documents, providing a summary evaluation and decision recommendation for each applicant, and participating in Admission Committee reviews.

Reading and committee work will primarily be conducted remotely. All readers will be required to attend reader training in October, which may be in person at the Admission Office or remote. Additional mandatory training sessions may be offered through webinars and other online tools at the readers convenience.
