<p>Williams seems awesome and I want to fully embrace the liberal arts philosophy the school offers. The Williams-Exeter program seems like an incredible opportunity as well. My only concern is the isolation of Williams, but part of it is appealing; akin to a summer camp with smart people. Do I have good chances for Early Decision or Regular Decision at Williams?</p>
