<p>Interested to transfer to Williams for my sophomore year of undergrad. Anyone know what admissions is looking for specifically in transfer candidates/is the rate as low as for ivies/other top tiered schools? thanks in advance!</p>
<p>the rate is super low. they’re definitely looking for A) sick grades B) challenging courseload C) the other, usual qualifications and D) some damn good reasons to pick Williams.</p>
<p>I was accepted to Williams as a transfer in March. While I can say that my academics were solid, I hardly think it helped much. I recommend that you focus on differentiating yourself from the other 4.0 students by showing the unique contributions you will bring to Williams. This may be unique life experiences, passion for a particular cause, or whatever makes you tick.</p>
<p>The transfer acceptance rate is very low. This year there are only 6 incoming transfer students.</p>
