<p>Hey everyone, I am an Asian- American from New Jersey who is thinking about applying to Williams College (possibly ED) in the fall. Could you please assess my chances and don't be afraid of making any criticisms (I need HONEST evaluations!)! Thank you in advance. </p>

<p>Unweighted GPA: 3.85
Weighted GPA: 4.17 (Taking the hardest courseload, school doesn't offer many AP's, and school does not rank)
SAT's: 1480 (Math and Verbal) (I will retake in the fall)
SATII's: 670 (Literature), 800 (Math IIC) (I will retake in the fall)
Extracurriculars: Model UN President
Newspaper Chief Editor
First Cello for Orchestra, will submit tape
Community Service (200+ hours, plus I taught English at a school in South Korea)
NHS
This summer I am taking a course at Harvard Summer School
Could you please tell me if I have a chance at Williams?</p>

<p>^^I assume this poster was being sarcastic. I'd say your chances are fair.</p>

<p>The EC's look solid, and being an Asian-American works in your favor. I would say you are correct in retaking the SAT II's, though I'm not sure you need to retake the SAT I's. Also, you'll need to take one more SAT II, as Williams requires three of them, if I recall correctly.</p>

<p>Not anymore. Since the addition of the writing section on the SAT I, Williams and other colleges only require two subject tests.</p>
