is williams need blind for int candidates?
thanx guys</p>

<p>abhay,</p>

<p>Yes, Williams is need-blind, for internationals, too. Furthermore, from my experience and that which I have heard of others, Williams is very generous.</p>

<p>First of all, I really am not qualified to rate your chances but I'll state the obvious. Your scores are stellar. Your rank is within the top 10% which I think is okay, though it probably matters how competitive your school is. I can't tell much from your extra-curriculars, but as long as you have spent time doing things passionately that should be okay. You don't really have anything that sticks out as bad. </p>

<p>The thing with a top school like Williams is not everyone qualified gets in. I think you have to have something they want and maybe a little luck. They are trying to build a diverse and interesting class and if you fit the profile of a student they want you'll probably be in. It's hard to rate chances for anyone, and even harder for me at least to rate an international's chances.</p>

<p>My advice would be to put a lot of effort into your essay. That's one place that you can still change at this stage of the game. You definetly have a shot. I just don't want to rate if that is an average shot or great shot. Best of luck to you abhay. I hope you are accepted to Williams or another school you are excited about!</p>

<p>Williams is absolutely generous. My package is similar/better than My friends' aid packages ( from yale, Harvard, princeton (similar EFC)). As leonesa said, essays are very important. Furthermore, good recommendations (peer recommendation included) can tip the scale.</p>
