<p>-Misc: I really love the sciences, and right now I'm thinking of majoring in Biology, although I'm not completely sure. Music is my main hobby - I take many music classes and voice lessons, and I'm thinking of submitting a CD of my singing along with my application. </p>

<p>Thanks to everyone who can give me feedback. I hope I have provided enough information or I haven’t provided extraneous information.</p>

<p>You look excellent on paper. You've definitely got a shot, at least from my (limited) perspective as another prospective student. Then again, Williams is so incredibly competitive that it's really difficult to judge with any certainty. Good luck!</p>

<p>Your stats look good. Like thousands of other potential applicants, you seem to meet the bottom-line qualifications. The trick is getting chosen from amidst that large pool.</p>

<p>Do submit the arts supplement. Read over what the College wants and follow the directions, tailoring what you send to your art. Email Admissions if you have questions. Send a recording of yourself performing, a "resume" of your musical experience, a recommendation from a music teacher, and a statement about what your interests are and what you are looking for, plus anything else they ask for. Be sure that it will be clear to the hearer which one you are in each piece (you'll need to include some solos). Watch for the deadlines (the supplement may be due before the application). You can research who at Williams works in the areas that interest you and ask them questions as well; you may be able to meet them on a campus visit.</p>

<p>Thanks.
And dkane, I took the ACT because I took practice tests and did consistently better on the ACT than the SAT. And I understand that race can be an important factor, but I'd prefer not to post it online.</p>
