2017 Windows on Wiliams (WOW) Discussion

@YoLolololol Yea I applied a couple of weeks ago

Just wondering what kinds of essays everyone here submitted? haha just curious!

@YoLolololol I didn’t really have much to chose from, but I submitted an editorial about why the school should go on a block schedule. In APUSH we don’t type any essays up nor do we get to keep them, and in English she always has us do some weird formatting stuff so it doesn’t even end up being an essay. Between the two I could pick from I chose the editorial.

for sending our AP scores to Williams, can we send in a screenshot?

@Kelvin82

I think so. I would wait until your region’s AP scores are released though if it wasn’t supposed to be released yet… lol you know :wink:

Should we wait until we have our subject test scores and send that along with AP scores or should we just go ahead and send our APs and send SAT II when they come in :confused:

Guys update us if you guys get a result from Williams. We should get answers back within a week.

@kassh4
Last year invite/results came out late second week of August .

Who said July this year?

@Volunteerism

If you applied by July 1st, the invitation email said you would be getting your decision by July 17th.

@YoLolololol
Thanks
After further review I see that acceptances actually came out both on July 15 and August 15 in 2016.

@Volunteerism Can you link the thread you are looking at?

@kassh4

It’s right on CC

Honestly, I don’t know if I am ready for the decision. I really like Williams, and I am super scared of getting rejected.

@kassh4

same. I’ve been really interested in Williams since sophomore year, and I really want to visit. I’m very scared too haha. Do you play any sports? I don’t play any (i’m the farthest you can be from being considered “athletic” lol) and I was sorta concerned about the sports culture in Williams being super big and me not fitting in haha.

@YoLolololol I don’t play any sports officially but I feel like I can consider myself at least somewhat athletic, nothing crazy tho. I didn’t know that there was a super big sports culture there. Williams is D3 and super isolated and cold. idk didn’t seem like there would be a lot of sports there.

@kassh4
Yeah I was very surprised when I heard Williams students are very outdoorsy. The weather there gets so cold lol

4 more days till decisions come out, excited and anxious…

@MaybeHarvard2022 Decisions came out on the 15th last year around 2 pm central, so we might only have to wait 2 days.

@kassh4
I think they said that decision will come out on the 15th last year lol. I’m just hoping that the 17th date doesn’t get postponed :confused:

If selected, which dates will you choose? Also, its crazy to think that getting into this program could mean that Williams could become a safety lol
