<p>Hey guys,
I mean, its pretty cool that we all wanna get to know each other, but do you really think sharing application information is the way to do it? We don't need to brag to each other about our stats, im sure all of them are amazing. How bout lets just share some cool things about ourselves, and leave out the numbers. I'm not gonna choose friends next year by SAT scores or counselor recommendations.
I'll tell everyone that my passion is music. I play a bunch of instruments, but guitar is my main, and im well into jazz. So chances are if you end up rooming next to me, you'll hear some tunes floatin around the hall. I also love hip-hop, and I'm working on getting equipment to DJ. If anyone goin to Williams next year is into music, or just wants to talk, my aim is "Rebellic Fish"</p>
<p>I think US news and other college guides potray quite accurately the stat most Williams students have. Posting stat on CC just doesn't suite Williams:S. I guess you noticed that after the ED decisions, accepted Ephs did not post their stats here unless someone asked them to.</p>
<p>Rebellic fish:
I play the guitar too:) Do you listen to Pink Floyd?</p>
<p>I agree with the people above. And on a side note, as I was skimming the stats, I couldn't help but wonder how I got in. :)
Now, on another note,
I try to play the guitar. I also try to play the piano. I wish I were better, but I still enjoy myself.</p>
