<p>But I think my essays (and maybe my recommendations) were far more important in getting me in!</p>

<p>Congratulations to all of the new admits! Reading these notes brings back great memories of what we went through last year.</p>

<p>If you missed out on the decal in your purple folder, you can always purchase one (as well as any of a huge selection of Williams items) here:</p>

<p>"Now that Izzy typed my name in CC i gotta kill her! Muhahahaha (evil cackle). Be fraid . Be very afraid!"</p>

<p>You sound like you will enjoy next year's KAOS (Killing as an Organized Sport - <a href="http://wso.williams.edu/%7Ekaos/play.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://wso.williams.edu/~kaos/play.html&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p>

<p>well, those of u who got stickers should be grateful. i've been accepted ED and haven't received my admissions package. :( :( :( i want my admissions mail!!!!</p>

<p>oh btw congrats to those who received their early write letters. :D</p>

<p>athene86:</p>

<p>I wish i cud send u my folder:( </p>

<p>scream at the admission office, ask them to DHL ur stuff again.</p>

<p>congratulations to everyone who got early write acceptances! </p>

<p>athene: that really sucks! you could ask them to resend the folder...or maybe you can collect when you get to campus :)</p>

<p>The KAOS thing sounds like fun. Lotsa scope for creative visualisation:P. Thanks Clayleas:)</p>

<p>Any idea if all the early writes are out or more still to come?</p>

<p>Effulgent:
They gave us - a folder, a window sticker, a purple bookmark, a leaflet about Williams, a visitor's guide and a Williams Museum of art leaflet along witht he acceptance letter.</p>

<p>Last year, they sent a bunch of early writes during the first week of march, and then steadily sent 2~5 acceptance letters everyday after taht until 4/01. So yeah.. check your mailbox everyday!</p>

<p>My daughter just got an early write letter today, so that should give hope to others who didn't hear yesterday.</p>

<p>Congratulations nceph!!</p>

<p>Not to be pessimistic but hopemanjkjk mentions that early writes go out the beginning of March and then steady acceptance letters all month. When do they send rejection letters, at the same time or do they wait until April 1st?</p>

<p>have any of you applied to both williams and amherst and only gotten an early write from one? i'm just wondering b/c i'm a legacy at one of the two (i won't say which) but i got an early write from the other.</p>

<p>I applied to both and received an early write from Amherst.</p>

<p>I also applied to both Williams and Amherst and have received an early write from Amherst (on 3/04).</p>

<p>All of you who received early writes at either of these colleges (have any of you received them from both or from Williams and not Amherst?)...what other colleges did you guys apply to?</p>
