info for incoming freshmen?

<p>Has anyone received any emails/letters regarding Williams? When the school year starts, how orientation works, etc.? I haven't received anything and I'm a bit worried.</p>

<p>Also, I know a lot of people have asked this but I was reading **************.com (probably not a very good idea, heh) and the social reviews were all pretty negative. How WASPy is Williams really? When I visited my tour guide said that Williams did a really great job of integrating all kinds of students particularly for freshman entries, but she was on varsity track and everything so I'm not sure what that'll translate into for me.</p>

<p>I’ve only gotten medical forms to fill out. The letter was dated about 10 days after I sent in my deposit and I received it the day after (by mail, I’m one day from Williams). In the envelope there was a message that we would be receiving information in May.</p>

<p>If you’re worried, like I was, about the lack of confirmation, you can email admissions :]</p>

<p>Yeah I got those medical forms in the mail yesterday, too.</p>

<p>I loved how it said to send AP and IB scores to the Registrar’s Office or whatever and then at the bottom it said “put away your sharpened number 2 pencils”.
Oxymoron much?
Hahahaha, gotta love Williams!</p>

<p>tictactoc: Don’t sweat it. Those reviews are not accurate.</p>

<p>haha alright, thanks for the info guys. ahh IB scores…T_T</p>

<p>I’m yet to receive these medical forms. (If they’re coming by mail, I’ll be waiting a while)
What are they all about?</p>

<p>TicTacToc:</p>

<p>With regards clothing:
If you do not have a haberdasher, do not worry, any rag will do.
Everyone leaves their top hat and tux at home.</p>

<p>Social life is what you make it.
The negative reviews reflect the opinions of those for whom Williams was a poor choice as against a proper fit. I assume you will do fine in attire and dress, short of your personal physical appearance and amiable demure.</p>

<p>Remember to smile and take it easy.</p>

<p>Mix about, cause if you hide, then we cannot see you.</p>

<p>Most of all, besides the wall of worry, learn to have fun.</p>
