<p>Williams is a reach for anyone.</p>

3

<p>I know that but do you think I have a good chance</p>

4

<p>You might have a chance.</p>

5

<p>If you apply E.D., you will almost surely be admitted. Even R.D., I put your chances at 75 percent or greater. Williams is NOT a reach for you given your profile.</p>

6

<p>If I go with that information given then I could say low match in ED, high match in RD.</p>

<p>Catria, you are incorrect. Very, very, very few (if any) students with this type of profile – 1470 SAT, African American, strong academic record at a top high school, athlete, child of immigrants, CTY, strong community service record – will ever be denied acceptance at Williams, Amherst, Pomona, etc. This applicant is the dream candidate for any admissions officer. I’d say nearly a lock for admission, but anything is possible, so I estimated conservatively.</p>
