<p>Aw, tmL, I'm sorry. Good luck with everything</p>
<p>[I'm just back from my last exam of the semester.] Sorry guys who were deferred. I hate saying "sorry" though cos it doesn't change things or make you feel better.

<p>Decision:Acccccepted!!!</p>
<p>OMG stats in 5 minutes:D</p>
<p>Dear Rhassan:</p>
<p>Congratulations! I am extremely pleased to to offer you admission to Williams College under our early decision plan.</p>
<p>We received 532 early decision applications, and the group was comprised of one of the strongest Early Decision applicant pools in the college's history. Each file was read carefully by at least three admission officers, and we met in full committee for five days, making a series of decisions that fully challenged us. The result of our deliberations, I feel, is among the strongest Early Decision admit groups ever.</p>
<p>When the entire process has run its course, I expect that your class will total 538. In addition, I expect, like the early decision group, that it will consist of roughly equal numbers of men and women, contain a broad range of backgrounds and experiences, and represent extremely strong commitment and accomplishement in both academic endeavor and activity beyond the classroom....</p>
<p>the rest is just financial aid and deposit info. the acceptance letter is signed by Nesbitt himself (in ink) and comes in the "100% chance..." folder.</p>
<p>I'm sorry aube, and congrats rl!!</p>
<p>if only i could figure out why people from ct, nj, and ny have their decisions when i'm from ny and have no word</p>
