<p>Oh man you have no idea. What is going on with the forums? My browser always freezes</p>

<p>i think you have a good shot at all these schools. bowdoin and wesleyan are matches. williams is a match/reach. the others are a bit easier, although vassar is difficult, too. still, i think you have a very reasonable list of colleges based on your scores. good match/reach schools. great safeties. good luck!</p>

<p>So what might be my safeties/matches/reaches??</p>

<p>i'd say that you're IN at Williams. They accapeted 3 kids from Everett last year - that's ridiculous!!!!!!!!! You go to a better school and have a good GPA and rank. Williams wants kids like me and you, the want to keep the business in the berkshires.</p>

<p>polysciguy...</p>

<p>do you know any specifics as to how the local Williams thing works?</p>

<p>Because, typically, from my school only the valedictorian and salutarian get accepted (although I don't think people below that usually apply - this year like 5 to 6 of us r though). Is it done on a school to school basis? Or is it just a whole Berkshire pool? I currently have (by 130 points) the highest SAT score in my school. Will Williams be aware of this? Do you think our SAT scores are high relative to the rest of the Berkshire county applicants?</p>
