<p>Who else has? Also, who is planning on going to Preview of Williams?
And...Duke/Penn are my first choices, but I haven't heard back from them...anyone who attends/has visited Williams, why should I go there? I don't mean that how it sounds, but I'm on the fence and would love some information that I can't get from the website, if you know what I mean.</p>
<p>Congrats! I also got an early write, and I am definitely going to Preview of Williams. Right now Williams is my first choice, but I am also waiting on several colleges. You should check out *****.com for student reviews if you haven’t already.</p>
<p>Williams, as an undergraduate institution, has long been considered more prestigious/distinguished than Duke or Penn among those who really know (professional and graduate school deans, etc.). That said, the latter two have come a long way in the past decade or two and are great schools. As an applicant, you need to ask yourself whether you want to be at a huge school, in a city or not, etc. Which departments are particularly strong should probably be secondary at this point, although all have some stand-outs. Fact is, Williams has the greatest emphasis (indeed, sole emphasis) on the quality and intimacy of its undergraduate education, but a happy student will do well at any of these schools.</p>
<p>paulel, what’s the website?</p>
<p>probably oginu spelled backwards.</p>
<p>You’ll find out if you like Williams or not during Previews. From what I perceived during Previews last year, people seemed to either really love it or absolutely hate it. For me, it was much too small and suffocating.</p>
<p>williams definitely better for ugrad than penn/duke, no question about it.</p>
<p>i have to agree with muffinish that it is pretty suffocating… aw you apply to any other top LACs?</p>
<p>no, I did not.</p>
