<p>I’m sorry if I come across as sounding rude, but your post makes you sound a little arrogant. Make sure that if you interview, you don’t give that impression. I think it was probably the line about being valedictorian: “(It’s between me and one other person who had a 97 in Math, so it will most likely be me.)” IMHO, that sounds hyper-competitive, as if you are actively checking up on the other students around you. No, Williams is absolutely not a safety.
PtonAlumnus, I’m willing to bet it’s a parent with two children. Saying “Hi I’m…” instead of “Hi my D/S is…”</p>
