<p>Hello,</p>
<p>I'm a student in a China's top high school. It's hard for me to choose between Williams and Amherst for ED, for they are so similar. But personally I prefer Williams. Please tell me what my chance is, and help me decide wether I should apply Williams in ED or RD.</p>
<p>I went to America three times, 3 years in total.</p>
<p>Despite my 2-year stay when I was 5 years old, I went to Huron High School during 9th grade, with a GPA 3.8 (I chose some hard classes: AC maths, speech, physics, etc.).I went back there again to attend summer school in U of M with full scholarship.</p>
<p>SAT1:1970(not good, gonna test again, around 2200)</p>
<p>SAT Math2:800
SAT Phys:760
SAT Chem:710</p>
<p>No APs, but my classes in China are already HARD...</p>
<p>have honors or interests in various fields: programming, physics, mathematics, sports, model united nations, rock band, english literature, philosophy, economics, psychology, etc.</p>
<p>Williams' change in financial aid policy to internationals makes me hesitate to apply it in ED, afraid it would defer me to RD... Is Williams' economic situation so bad that it cannot afford foreign students any more?</p>
<p>Besides, will my music supplement greatly increase my chance? I wanted to send them my guitar performance by internet, but my laptop is so outdated that it can hardly record any music, I guess I would miss this chance to show them my music ability.</p>
<p>Please tell me my chance to get in and offer me some advice. I'll be very very grateful. Thank you for your time.</p>
