Official "SNAIL MAIL" ED Decisions

<p>First, to those who got accepted, congratulations, Williams has gotten much more difficult to gain admission to in the last few years, and it's a fantastic accomplishment. Believe me, you will have a wonderful, life-changing experience that will continue to pay dividends throughout your life. I'm curious, what were the final ED numbers of applicants and acceptances? </p>

<p>The good news for those who got deferred is, first, hold out hope, there is still the second round to go. They know you want the school, and I'd recommend a follow-up letter stressing that Williams is still your top choice, and enumerating any new accomplishments during your senior year. </p>

<p>Secondly, if you don't end up at Williams, there are tons of other choices that provide, essentially, an equivalent experience. Amherst, Middlebury, Haverford, Dartmouth and Bowdoin, in particular, as well as others like Carleton, Macalester, Bates, Swarthmore and Wesleyan will provide essentially the same great overall social/academic/extracurricular experience you would have at Williams -- and based on your stats, you guys will have lots of great options. For pretty much all of my friends who didn't get into their first choice school, after a year they were wondering why they hadn't actually applied early to the school they eventually attended in the first place. Among the top liberal arts schools, the cultural and quality differences are really negligible, and what's more important is that, once on campus, you make your mark socially, academically, and extracurricularly. I have confidence you'll end up someplace fantastic for you. But I've met tons of folks from Midd, Amherst, Haverford, and Bowdoin, and I'd be hard pressed to distinguish them in any really meaninful way from Ephs. Best of luck ...</p>

<p>Anyone else still waiting?</p>

<p>I seriously cannot eait to open my letter, though I must say hearing people with such awesome stats get deffered is kind of intimidating!</p>

<p>Accepted!!!! =d</p>

<p>Deferred.
1490, 760 M, 730V
SATII: 730, 750, 720
4.07 on a scale that goes up to 4.67</p>

<p>Maybe I'll be one of those 15-20 who get in regular, but I doubt it. Here's to hoping.
Congrats to those who got in. And to those who also got deferred; feel comforted that were all in this together. I do.</p>

<p>azncoolkiemonstr congrats!! guess I will see you next year ^^</p>

<p>hopemanjkjk i remember you~~!! u got in?? congratulations~~~
i did not do ED to Williams....but i'm doing RD though :)
you are from South Korea right?? you must be fluent at Korean then....my sister is currently freshman at Williams....and she is more fluent in Korean than English....you will meet her since williams is so small....congratulations~~ i hope i get in for RD...</p>

<p>hahaha thank you so much! yes I am very glad that I got in =)</p>

<p>I get so excited for the people accepted and at the same time I feel sad for everyone who doesn't get the ED acceptance. I really don't know which I'll be. We just got to remind ourselves getting in doesn't change anything. Those not accepted are no less than before. And those accepted are no better than before. Our fates just take a different turn.</p>

<p>It was kind of encouraging to hear you got in azncookie, simply since I know you attended the multicultural program. I hope going to that plays in my favor! I'm just a little worried about it because I don't really think I am a minority. I was invited to attend the program based on my rural Minnesota status I guess. I'm white with no special ethnic characteristics. But I come from farming small town life. I sure hope that pulls me over the board!</p>

<p>If you don't mind azncookie, could you please post your stats? Thanks!</p>

<p>My stats are probably the worst are one of the worst ones here...but here goes</p>

<p>Stats:
I got a 1380....BUT those were November scores. I am inclined to think that they only payed attention to the ones I submitted with my application, which was a 1320.</p>

<p>Class rank 1-537 at the time I sent in my application...now its 1-684</p>

<p>Hey azn.... I had very similar stats.</p>

<p>31 ACT which is equal to a 1380 approx and 1330 SAT. My Sat IIS were 750, 700, 790, 670.</p>

<p>Did you have any special EC's or other hooks?</p>

<p>By the way your class rank is outstanding. I am ranked number one in my class but considering there are only fourty students in my grade, I don't know if they will think much about it.</p>

<p>hey leonesa want to chat on aim/msn msnger? </p>
