*OFFICIAL WILLIAMS COLLEGE WAITLIST 2021**

Middlebury is crickets as well. Was Williams also Iike this last year?

@ivyisaplant yeah I’m sure of that information about two non-aid people leaving their spots. I know them on Facebook via a group “The Great Indian Dream”, which is a group of Indians applying to US univs. I sent them an EC update which detailed new developments in my resume, and another one about why I would love to attend Williams (the second one is my strong point, really, as it is a really good essay, I feel). The only problem is, my second update was send on the night of May 3, and I think it might have slipped the attention of the panel (if there was a deliberation session on May 3-4, which is true if someone people got offers on May 4-5, about which we have no info, sadly).Lets see, I have mailed them to ensure that the second update is read by the committee.

@Chembiodad Williams waitlist threads for 2020, 2019 and 2018 were MUCH MORE active than this. Idk what’s wrong this time :confused:

Which schools have you guys committed to?

Hi guys, I just emailed the Associate Director of International Admissions with respect to my updates and ensuring they were added in my file.

Her response,

"Dear asliwelhamite,

Thank you for your message. Since you’ve added these updates to your application, we will review them should we go to the waitlist.

Best wishes,
Misha."

This would imply they haven’t sent out the first round of waitlist offers yet. In fact, it seems they haven’t even had a deliberation meeting yet for the waitlists.

@nmocha567 I’m an international who is committed to University of Hong Kong right now. I have waitlists at Williams and Vanderbilt.

@nmocha567, my DD’s both committed to Hamilton, with one still waiting for Middlebury - Williams isn’t a possibility for them anymore. Good luck!

@nmocha567 Wellesley

@ivyisaplant tbh if I had Wellesley I wouldnt be fretting about Williams lol (I can’t, since I’m a guy but still)

Congrats, guys! I’m committed at the University of Richmond and was waitlisted at Williams, Middlebury, and Vassar.

Committed to Wellesley here, too!

Hey guys, any results?

nope ;-;

Nope nothing here yet. It’s getting on my nerves tbh, since I absolutely love Williams and it has been my dream college since forever. Let’s see what happens.

I have a feeling if they haven’t taken from the WL then it might be a while until they get back to us… logically if there are openings right now they would start sending out offers to finalize the class quickly

"We have not made any movement to the wait list and are not certain if we will, at this point.

I hope you have secured a place for yourself for the fall just in case we do not move to the wait list. With such uncertainty, it is important to make sure you are all set."

^from a friend who emailed

Thank you so much for sharing this email…

No probs! I know how stressful waiting can be :frowning:

Anyone heard anything new about the waitlist? Any movement?

This is what I received from the International Director of Admissions as a response to my email inquiring about the waitlist:

"Dear asliwelhamite,

We are currently not going to the waitlist, however, this may change in the upcoming weeks. We recommend that you secure a spot at another university/ college and should we admit you off the waitlist, we will be in touch.

Best,
Misha."

I guess that settles it. :expressionless:

I called Williams and they said they didn’t even start looking at the waitlist yet bc some people didn’t get back to them or something. And they don’t know when or if they will. Idk

Oh thats a bummer… Guess they had decent yield then
