<p>For those of us who are still checking our mailboxes in hopes of receiving that nice letter, it would be helpful to know if these letters were all sent out in one bunch or if they are trickling out on a daily or weekly basis. Is there a mailing date or postmark on your letter? Thanks!</p>
<p>That's cleared up. I have talked with admissions and will supposedly be getting a personal note from Mr. Nesbitt, director of admissions, that will clear everything up. My doubt has been removed...</p>
<p>dms11, mine was postmarked Feb. 26, 2009. </p>
<p>best of luck to everybody!</p>
<p>all of you who got early writes-
did you receive any notices about financial aid problems/concerns right before you received the early write? i know this is sometimes the case for other colleges' likely letters and i was wondering if it is also true for williams. my dad got an email today saying...</p>
<p>"We have received the information you submitted on behalf of the above named applicant. In order for us to review her application we would appreciate your assistance with the item(s) below:</p>
<p>Please complete the Business/Farm Supplement (available for download from our website at: <a href="http://www.williams.edu/admin/finaid/forms/0910_business_farm.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.williams.edu/admin/finaid/forms/0910_business_farm.pdf</a>) for (company where my dad works) and submit this directly to our office along with the 2008 federal corporate income tax return, all pages and schedules. </p>
<p>Please include the student’s Williams ID (above) on all correspondence with the college. Thank you for your continued cooperation. We look forward to your prompt response. If you have any questions regarding the above request, please do not hesitate to contact our office. "</p>
<p>Did anyone receive similar emails? I'm so confused....especially because my dad doesn't own a business. He is just like a manager figure hired by the company. Please help, it seems urgent. :(</p>
<p>I'd email them with some info about your dad's position. A similar confusion happened to us with a different college--it's because somewhere on one of the bajillion forms a box was checked that indicated self-employed, or some such. When we explained our situation, they didn't need that paperwork any more. So email or talk to the financial aid office--I'm sure they'll be helpful!</p>
<p>Z09, we received an email from financial aid office regarding some tax return concerns they had a week before the admission letter , it is a good sign!</p>
<p>you only need to call them or email them to clarify!!</p>
<p>best luck to you!</p>
<p>cadence76 and ctimeagain,
thanks so much!! yea im going to contact them first thing tomorrow and clear the problem.
hopefully its a good sign. again, thanks for the help i appreciate it!!</p>
<p>you guys are quite clever figuring that out because I do remember receiving an email about a week before the early write asking for some extra information for financial aid. i imagine that applicants next year will be happy to hear from the school about financial aid forms if it means they'll get an early write!</p>
<p>I finally got mines today! though it 's postmarked February 26. it must have come a long way to get all the way here! I'm so excited!</p>
<p>I just go one too. Is this late to be receiving this letter?</p>
<p>I just got one today too!</p>
<p>Yay Williams!</p>
<p>Accepted! Got it today.</p>
<p>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<p>just last week i was asking ppl here about fin aid stuff and i guess it def has relevance to acceptance. thanks for those who replied to me back then!</p>
<p>Z09, I knew you would get it today or tomorrow, I am so happy for you!!! Congrts!!!</p>
<p>Thank you!!
it's so nice that most ppl on cc are supportive and sympathetic, except for the occasional bitter/sarcastic bunch.</p>
<p>What is the story with financial aid fellow early write people? Are the packages being mailed the 15th or arriving on the 15th or will they be available on the web the 15th? Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>I think in the letter, they said they'd be sent to us by the 15th.</p>
<p>To all you people who have been accepted: Has there been any change in your <a href="http://myApplication.williams.edu%5B/url%5D">http://myApplication.williams.edu</a> page?</p>
<p>@Goldenratio</p>
<p>nope. I was curious if anything changed after I got the purple folder, so I looked on there but nothing's changed. All it shows is that they've received all my materials. :P</p>
<p>Can you guys who got admitted post your stats and tell us where you are from? THX!</p>
