<p>Are you a senior? Should have done ED. You appear qualified but so are another 4000 young men. Classics major will help-have you ever taken any classics courses? You will need a fab essay…</p>

<p>My S is a Classics major at Williams. PM me if you have any questions.</p>

<p>I didn’t want to apply ED because of the FA issue. No classics courses. My school doesn’t offer any. </p>

<p>subject scores just in:</p>

<p>690 US history; 700 math level 1; 720 literature</p>

<p>*do they care a lot that I took math level 1 rather than level 2?</p>

<p>Your SAT2s will neither hurt nor help your application. Still need that fab essay.</p>
