<p>Hi
I was deferred ED from Princeton and now Williams is one of my top choices
I have very good scores (2400SAT, 800 Math 2, 800 Biology M, 750 US History) but I'm not sure how much of my personality came out in my essays or application. My recommendations are mainly acadmic, but i just sent in the peer recommendation that i hope sheds more light on me as a person. My question is, do you think that they will admit me based on scores alone, or that the lack or that the lack of personality compared to some other applicants will be a problem?
I have good grades and come from a rural school that probably has never sent anyone to Williams before.
Thanks,
You can check out my stat profile for more information if you would like</p>
<p>eventer, you're speaking in past tense. Has your Williams application already been sent or is there still time to revise?</p>
<p>If it's already sent and you're having second thoughts then consider sending in some supplemental materials that will flesh out your persona. I can't tell you what those may be since I know nothing about you except that you live in a rural environment (which is a positive, by the way).</p>
<p>If it's not yet sent, then for goodness sakes, don't make it so difficult to find YOU in your application. Your post just begs the question: What CAN you bring to the college community?</p>
<p>And in answer to your question, in my opinion, no, I don't think Williams or any other highly selective college will admit you based on scores alone.</p>
<p>If you'd sincerely like some advice here, how about helping us out with some more information?</p>
<p>sorry, yes i already submitted by app---princeton did not inform me until a couple of days ago and it was getting really late to still not have opened a file at Williams
what other info would you like?</p>
<p>see this: <a href="http://www.williams.edu/home/focus/recipe/%5B/url%5D">http://www.williams.edu/home/focus/recipe/</a></p>
<p>you can always send an additional personal statement</p>
<p>hmmm... on the williams website admissions page, they say that they put a lot of weight on your activities outside of school, and on the college board profile for the school, they say they also care a lot about the personality conveyed in your app.
but seriously, good luck. let us know how it turns out.</p>
