HS junior accepted to Williams

Colleges and Universities A-Z Williams College

<p>I got into Williams and Dartmouth as a junior (HS class of 2010). I won't be getting a HS diploma, so my undergrad college name would be my only justification (well, not counting the GED, which I'm planning to take) for the question: why didn't you finish high school?</p>

<p>Williams is my first choice--strong art history and astronomy programs, Oxford-style tutorials--, but considering that practically no one outside of the US knows Williams (I live in Thailand), will Dartmouth, with the Ivy League brandname, be a better choice?</p>

<p>Even though it’s Ivy, Dartmouth doesn’t really carry much of a name internationally. Also, you really can’t get better than Williams when it comes to art history–the program is outstanding and the resources of WCMA, Mass MOCA and the Clark are unmatched by Dartmouth. And the tutorial system really is as awesome as it sounds.</p>

<p>sphairistic: I saw you on the 2011 decisions thread and saw you got in off the waitlist. Did you end up matriculating? if so, awesome!</p>
