Waitlist

<p>Does anyone know if you are allowed to defer a waitlist?</p>

<p>what do you mean by "defer a waitlist"?</p>

<p>I want to take a year off before college, and I'm wondering if Williams will let me do this even if my acceptance is for the purpose of filling this years class (I was offered a spot off the wait list)</p>

<p>Oh.. well I dont see why they wouldn't let you defer.. Take the spot!</p>

<p>Is the waitlist still active, or drawing to a close? Should I even hope any longer?</p>

<p>anything new guys??? anything at all?</p>

<p>For some reason, I'm thinking that in years past Williams has formally closed the wait list at some point and that those waiting have been notified. Does anyone now? If I'm right, when and how (individual letters? a posting on the Admission website?) is the notification likely to come?</p>

<p>Knowing might make the wait easier.</p>

<p>i emailed an admissions officer today, and her reply is "we will notify everyone the status of our class by July 1, but it is not very likely that we will admit more students, however."
Let's just pray that we still have chance.</p>

<p>I just got accepted today!</p>

<p>flowersunshine: Congratulations! Will you attend Williams or stay with Pomona?</p>

<p>If it's Williams, let me be the first to welcome you, although I am just a Williams mom.</p>

<p>choose williams!</p>

<p>Gahh this is so tough! Williams has been my first choice for over a year. But thinking about it now, Pomona seems to have everything Williams has but better weather, the 5 college consortium, and its in a bigger town.</p>

<p>How bad would it be to turn down the offer from Williams, after I said I was still interested to the admissions office? At the time I was positive I would go, but am a little less sure now.</p>

<p>Yeah, choose Williams! It's the best.</p>

<p>flowersunshine: remember I told you that before, that your name sounded more like a Pomona person.</p>

<p>It wouldn't be the most polite thing to do, but you have to do what makes you happy. They'll be someone else to take your spot who's dying to go to Williams.</p>

<p>i second myth mom (crosses fingers and wishes that you take the spot at pomona and leave the williams one :P)</p>

<p>Well I decided on Williams. Looking forward to 4 awesome years! I'm trying to decide what williams gear to get online. There's so much to choose from!</p>

<p>Hm. Was it the availability of the sushi? Just kidding. Congrats on making your decision and knowing which school you'll be attending. The big, plush Williams cow is really soft.</p>
