<p>So I have my heart set on Williams College, but my parents won't let me apply ED because we're too wealthy to get much financial aid and too poor to comprehensively pay tuition and they want me to "keep my options open". I'm probably going to apply EA to either MIT or Yale.
Could you guys let me know what you think for Williams, MIT, and Yale and whether you think applying ED to Williams is really a no-brainer for me? Thanks!</p>

I play piano, French horn, trombone, and tuba, and I taught myself almost all of the other wind instruments. I don't play any of them amazingly. </p>
<p>I have never had a job or an internship, but I spend my summers tutoring children in rural Kenya in English and writing skills. I grew up in Kenya.</p>
<p>Other:
I have a few generations of legacy at Harvard but don't really want to go there. My mum thinks I should apply Restrictive EA to Harvard(???)
I go to Georgetown Prep, an all-boys private Catholic school, and for some reason Williams doesn't like to admit people from Prep.
I plan on double-majoring in Math/Statistics & Philosophy/Linguistics.</p>
<p>I will chance you back :)</p>
