General Comments: I sincerely wish good luck to you all and hope to see you at the Previews! :)</p>
<p>woo, got into Oberlin early write so hopefully I have a chance at Williams!</p>
<p>does anyone know how many early writes williams sends out vs. how many total acceptance letters they eventually send?</p>
<p>limetime: Amazing stats! I hope to see you at Previews, too! If Williams accepts me, that is :)
But the amount of AP's you took is just awe-inspiring, my school doesn't even have that many you can take in one year!</p>
<p>^Haha exactly. Our school actually offers ALL the AP's there are on the Collegeboard AP Catalog, so it would actually look sort of bad if he/she doesn't take at least 5 AP's by the end of junior year. The people at my school are competitive, so there are a few more people with the same courseload as mine...it's really not that unusual at my school. >_> Curses for our school offering so many APs...if we had less, I might have had a bit easier life. ^^; </p>
<p>Yes, I am hoping very hard that I will see you at the Previews, ChandlerBing! And all the people I've seen so far on the Williams board are really nice so I hope we all can meet each other come April. :)</p>
<p>Yeah, that's a really impressive school then! I took the maximum amount of hard classes my school can possibly offer, I'm just mad that my school forced my class to take regular Earth Science in 9th grade because they didn't offer anything else, and then the next year unveil their new extensive Enriched Earth Science AND Enriched Biology programs for freshmen. >_> is right!</p>
<p>Me too :)
May the Williams Gods look upon me favorably!
(Please?)</p>
<p>hi</p>
<p>so it looks as though there was a 2nd group of ppl who got williams early writes?
bc there was a load of posts from ppl from 2/28 - 3/6, then a 5-day break until more ppl announced that they got early writes startng on 3-11 to about now...</p>
<p>so im assuming that, as goldenratiophi hoped, the early writes are coming out in waves
and im wondering, for those who just got your early writes - where are you from?
i live in california, so im praying mine will come soon!</p>
<p>also, i know ive posted this already, would any of you recommend that i send my colleges an update that i was selected as captain of a varsity spring sport just this last week? or is it too late/wouldn't make a difference/might bother the admissions officers?</p>
<p>...probably not a huge one, unless your leadership activities were the breaking point. Call up the office and tell the person who answers the phone about your situation. She'll havea better clue than anyone here.</p>
<p>to whitelily:
I got an early write letter on march 2nd in the mail and I'm from CA.</p>
<p>early write peeps, has anyone got financial aid yet? i am really awaiting that...</p>
<p>no financial package yet... waiting also.</p>
<p>still no financial aid package... its down to swarthmore or williams.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any idea how good/generous Williams' FA is?</p>
<p>^ Williams is on Princeton Review's top 10 best value private colleges, so it's probably pretty good.</p>
<p>I'm still waiting for a financial aid package too</p>
<p>Anyone heard anything yet on FA?</p>
<p>the mail said fin aid info should be sent by the 15th and now today is the 19th...definitely shouldve gotten it by now, i dont know whats going on. ..?? im guessing no one else got anything either</p>
<p>Nothing here either</p>
<p>nil here as well. :P</p>
