***Official Williams Class of 2019 RD Discussion Thread***

I would definitely call the financial office if you have any concerns with the aid, Williams is a very generous school and explaining your situation to an officer could make a difference. So I would definitely try! @bobalover

why cant i be admitted early write???

@Ctesiphon, my D is wondering the same thing. Congrats to all who got in early, the rest of us will have to keep waiting.

Another Early Write here, with FinAid and Tyng Scholarship!!
See you all at previews :smiley:
pm me if you’re going so i’ll know a few people :wink:

And to those who haven’t heard back yet, I truly wish you good-luck - I know how hard it is to wait and you’ve probably begun second guessing your application, I had the same feeling last week after being rejected for Vanderbilt Scholarship and felt I was an utter failure.
Hopefully you’ll get a different early write, or an even more amazing deal April!

Just received an early write in the mail! So excited!

I just received my airline tickets to go to previews at Williams. That was quick! :slight_smile:

Congrats to all of you early writes! Awesome news!

I got my RD early acceptance letter at March 11. The email was completely unexpected. Not only did I get in, I also got a full ride at Williams. I couldn’t be happier! :blush:

See you all at the previews! #Williams2019

Congrats to all who got in! You guys are awesome!

What is the latest date to receive early write? Is it this week or just a few days?
Also, anyone else got one since yesterday?

I’m just curious: Did anyone get in Williams without writing the “optional” supplement? Or even got an early write without the supplement?

@tsn4444‌ Congrats on your early write acceptance! I’m also applying to some LACs and waiting to hear back from, them, but I am concerned about financial aid and what I will (hopefully) receive…How did you get a “full ride” to Williams? Will you be on financial aid with a grant package and loans? Thanks for your help!

The physical acceptance came in the mail today! The handwritten note was a very nice touch.

Of those who received early writes online, did any of you have trouble with financial aid (ie; additional information required that isn’t in the portal)? If so, has the fin aid office gotten in touch and/or gotten back to you? I want to access my package but I don’t know if the doc that I sent in is adequate for their requirement and I haven’t heard anything since.

@jo127jc‌ , yes, I received an early write without a supplement, which was amazing to discover! :smile:
It really is optional! :smile:

Congrats Quijote! I also got an early write and find myself trawling CC to find out more about Williams. Does anyone here know any alumni/current students I can talk to, or other resources to help me make the choice?

Good luck to everyone!

Videos! There are really great videos on the Williams YouTube channel.

When do your previews run from? Is it just april 13th-14th?

Yes, it’s the same for everyone.

I was also invited for a dinner on the 12th. Does anyone have any specifics into this dinner?

Received email notification of acceptance and generous financial aid on March 11. I was front in the middle of a comedy show I stood up and ran out screaming :))

Very excited to have Williams as an option, and definitely a top choice. I wonder when we actually get the physical letter?
