Should I re-apply this year?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Williams College

<p>I applied for Williams 08-09, and was rejected.</p>

<p>However, I asked for a year's deferment in my application, due to the need for serving out national service in my country (Singapore), which i will be completing this November. </p>

<p>Thus, I still have the choice of trying for entrance again in this year's application.</p>

<p>My concerns now are:</p>

<p>1) Would my application be taken in the same light as that of a first-time applicant?
2) Do I need to make large improvements to my overall application package?
3) Has places for internationals needing financial aid been reduced due to the dismal financial climate?</p>

<p>And just wondering, does anyone know how the average financial aid package is like for internationals in williams? (Just saw a thread on how kenflyken received a poor financial aid package)</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for any advice :)</p>

<p>your cases are rare so there’s nothing anybody can tell you here.</p>

<p>but when people apply Early Decision and get rejected, they aren’t allowed to apply again for Regular Decision. That may be the case here.</p>
