<p>how heavily is Peer Evaluation weighed in the admissions process at Williams?
I wrote an excellent Peer Evaluation for my frd and I think her mom wrote another Parent Evaluation for her as well. Both superb recommendations.</p>
<p>Any idea ppl? thanks!</p>
<p>can someone pls tell me something about this? thanks...</p>
<p>I didn't submit one last year, I got an early write.</p>
<p>I also recieved an early write and didn't submit one. I don't think that it greatly affects one's chances of gainning admissions.</p>
<p>I didn't submit one and got an early write...sooo...yeah. I don't think it's that big a deal either</p>
<p>I didn't submit one either and I got in regular this year.</p>
<p>ok thanks for the responses guys! but are you all domestic applicants? are Early Writes only sent to US citizens?</p>
<p>btw, one of my frds from Hong Kong got waitlisted at W last year, but since he knows that W doesn't accept international transfer applicants, he decided to take a year off to reapply. What do you think are his odds of getting accepted at W this year? he did let the AdCom know that he got waitlisted last year btw....</p>
<p>Will the AdCom appreciate his extreme enthusiasm??? anyone? thanks!</p>
<p>Since peer evaluations aren't required or even really expected, the lack of a peer evaluation isn't very harmful (chalk me up as another guy who didn't submit one and got an early write last year), but I think a good evaluation could be very helpful.</p>
<p>jeke: thanks for the encouraging comment!
I hope my Peer Evaluation helped my frd cos' she's an international from China asking for a lot of aid...</p>
<p>btw, do you have any idea about how the AdCom at Williams would look at my frd who got waitlisted last year?</p>
<p>can someone please respond? cos' so far the financial aid packages that my frd got from Wellesley, Smith and Mt. Holyoke are not sufficient for her to attend (she needs full aid), and i know that Williams is extremely generous to internationals as well, so i'm pretty confident that she'll be able to get the amount she needs if she can get in....:(</p>
<p>Admissions is separate from financial aid; financial aid is totally need-based, so even a great peer evaluation wouldn't affect an aid package.</p>
<p>I dunno what they'll think of your waitlisted friend. Probably depends on what he did with his year off.</p>
<p>Anyway, in both cases you'll know in a week or so, and there's nothing you can do now but sit back and wait. :-)</p>
<p>true... I'll just keep my fingers crossed for her then...:(</p>
<p>bumpity bump....... anymore opinion from current Williams students? thanks!</p>
<p>LOL, I also didn't submit one last year and got an early write.</p>
<p>Never wrote one... still got in.</p>
<p>Never submitted one. No friend around, was in another country.</p>
