Anyone doing the supplement essay? Also curious if any WoW attendees decided to ED into Williams.
To reply to your first question, I am doing the williams supp essay right now
I honestly fell in love with Williams during Wow which still stuns me since it came onto my radar relatively late in the college admissions game. I’m currently working on the supplemental essay and will likely ED to Williams.
Hey, does anyone know the average ED SAT score for Williams?
In other posts I saw that Williams releases decisions for ED on the second Thursday in December. If that’s the case then December 8 would be the date this year. Is this true?
That’s entirely possible. There happens to be a trend of decisions becoming available on a Thursday, so December 8th may be a possibility for us. Then again, we can only speculate. We won’t know until the decisions actually come out.
I’m worried AF.
I applied on Nov. 16, 1 day after the deadline since I had no idea what day I was living in.
I’m still waiting for Williams to send me an acknowledgment of application. I hope they will accept to review my application
I suggest writing to them. They’re good about responding, and it paid off for me because they had actually sent me something I never received, and when I followed up, they checked and saw that it had bounced back, so they re-sent it.
Hi, can you tell me about the logistics of the notification process - Are letters sent by mail? Is there a website to check? My son has applied ED but is there a way for parents to have any visibility on the notifications?
Decisions for ED applicants are posted electronically on the Williams portal “by December 15” and sent snail mail at about the same time. I don’t think parents have access to the portal except through their child’s login credentials.
do athletes get special pick in the admissions process? like if they already spoke with a coach is there any chance they could get rejected in early decision?
Thanks, CodyChesnutt, so if the decisions are made previous to December 15th (some here saying it might be Thursday the 8th), what is the cue to check the portal - is an email sent to the students notifying them that decisions are posted?
Mickmantle- regarding athletes, yes, we know of a classmate who had spoken with the coach and applied early but was rejected. It is important not just to speak with the coach but to ask whether or not they will be supporting your application - only the admissions office can admit students, the coaches cannot.
Does anyone know when we will get the decisions back, 8th or 15th?
No one really knows when we get back the decisions. As of now, Williams is just saying “by the 15th”, which could be either the 8th or the 15th. The rumors for the 8th are swirling is because the past few years they have released on the 2nd Thursday of December, but, that being said, the way the calendar lines up this year the 15th is also a Thursday so its a toss up.
Regarding the Williams Portal - my son has applied ED with the Common App with Williams Supplement but does not have an account on the Williams Portal, how/when does this happen? There are no instructions there on how to set up an account.
The day after I submitted my common app, they emailed me a link with instructions on how to set up a portal.
they said they are supporting my application and i have their full support. the other players on the team have told me that the program hasnt had a recruit not get in, but i am just worried about my application even though i passed the pre-reads
many thanks, douggy91, the email with the portal link had slipped through - we are all set now and waiting.
Thanks! Do you know if we get a warning in advance as to when they are released or do they just send it out on the day without warning?
Does anyone know anything about the release date? I know a lot of people were speculator December 8th, but wouldn’t we have heard by now if that were the case? Leads me to believe it will be Thursday the 15th, but that seems later than usual. Would love to hear from anyone who applied ED last year if Williams notified you before posting decisions or they just randomly post them.
