Hy guys, first of all this is my first post in college confidential. I am a waitlisted student with a keen interest in attending Williams. I have not heard anything since I replied to the waitlist offer. Keep posting guys, I will be back with any updates if I have
Hey guys, do you think it’s worthwhile to send any updates at this point? I recently won a state competition and will be advancing to nationals, but if they’re not using the waitlist then sending the update will be pointless
@lilyatchy I don’t think they’re gonna get into the waitlist this year. If I were you I’d save myself the trouble 
Hey, any updates? I assume they are not taking from the waitlist this year, though it would be great to know for sure. It’s a shame since I know quite a few wonderful people who have been admitted from the waitlist in past years.
Anything new folks?
Hey, when I contacted, they said they will not be using the list at this time; maybe that will change later though! Best wishes 
has anyone got any update?
Guys, I just got an interesting email. It asks if I’d like to stay on a “very small summer wait list of fewer than 15 students”. It said that they have no room right now to admit anyone else, but they will turn to the summer wait list if slots open up. Did anyone else get this? I assume it’s only sent to a select few, as the email says that the wait list is very small.
@nmocha567 good luck!
@Chntd thank you!!! I doubt anything will come out of this, but I still have some hope!
I had some hope too, 
but I haven’t received any email. :(( @nmocha567
@nmocha567 are you an international student?
@Chntd I’m so sorry!! I’m not an international student; I’m from Virginia.
@nmocha567 just curious, do you go to TJ for high school??
@lilyatchy no haha, I’m not from NOVA. I’m from southeastern Virginia.
just got an email saying they closed the wl
This is the email that was sent out tonight:
