<p>underneath the search box should be the words “self-service”. Click them. There should then be a link that says application status. Click it.</p>
<p>Earlier, after you clicked that, there was a box that said view decision. It is now gone because of the glitch.</p>
<p>When will general regular decisions go out? I haven’t received anything yet, but expect a decision sometime next week.</p>
<p>^I’d like to know too…
I just checked the Williams online portal and it said “The application server is down at this time.” and wouldn’t let me log in… maybe they are preparing for decisions release?</p>
<p>People - They will release them Fri afternoon AFTER the hs counselors have gone home, and very close to their own closing time. That way there is a whole weekend they can be away from the angry phone calls from rejected applicants. Let’s be real.</p>
<p>Fri afternoon release dates are chosen for a reason.</p>
<p>Actually Harvard and most of the Ivies traditionally come out on Thursday afternoons (this year it is 3/29)…Williams’ EDs came out on 12/15 which is a Thursday night (they release the information at 8 pm EDT so it is 5pm PDT and the applicants out West aren’t in school when they find out). I don’t have any information, but I would guess it is 3/29 too.</p>
<p>They will get the calls on Friday or Monday regardless–</p>
<p>I was subject to the phantom link as well. Mine said no decision had been made yet, I just hope that doesn’t translate to a rejection. I’d imagine we’ll get an email early this week telling us when to log on for our decisions. I’m just really hoping the male theatre major applicants were at a record low this year, 'cause that’s my only diversity point haha.</p>
<p>Does anyone else’s just say “This REGULAR Decision Application is COMPLETE?”</p>
<p>I hope for your sake it doesn’t, because I’m quite confident that I’m getting rejected.</p>
<p>Don’t worry, mine (still) says that too and I was accepted (early write).</p>
<p>@cowscows …soo i’m guessing from your username that Williams is your top choice. I’ve only been able to learn about it online and i also got an early, so if you’ve been on campus is it super secluded at williams? or is there stuff to do? thanks…its in my top 3</p>
<p>Zambia, I don’t know any more about Williams than you do probably so I can’t help you, sorry. It was merely a huge coincidence that I used to be obsessed with cows and their mascot is the purple cow 
I have the same worries about seclusion and stuff, and I guess I won’t really know for myself until I visit. The general consensus I’ve been hearing is that it’s gooorgeous but nonetheless in the middle of nowhere. My pastor’s brother-in-law (I’ve got great references, I know) actually lives in Williamstown and they love it, or so they say. Sorry I can’t be of more help, haha.</p>
<p>My son has Williams in the top five, but it would fly to #1 if he were accepted. (So hard to get an offer there, however!) He confirms from an extended visit to Williams a year back that it is in the middle of no-freaking-where, but the school has so much going on, he said he could handle its lack of proximity to civilization. Really, there are reasons why Williams is so highly regarded and I have not heard anyone say no because of its location.</p>
<p>Just read this on the admissions page: “Admission decisions for the Class of 2016 will be available online March 29, 8:00 pm EST.”</p>
<p>So, there we go! It’s on the lower right hand side of this page, for anyone who’d like to look: [Admissions</a> – Williams College|Admissions](<a href=“http://admission.williams.edu/]Admissions”>http://admission.williams.edu/)</p>
<p>looks like the whole “always released on a friday” thing is a bust then</p>
<p>It seems like results for pretty much every single college will be out by this thursday…scary!</p>
<p>I can’t even find the portal. How do I find the portal? Or is it closed?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>As I wrote, they always release on thursdays…</p>
<p>comeonups try: myapplication.williams.edu</p>
<p>Thanks lillipond!</p>
<p>RE: “looks like the whole “always released on a Friday” thing is a bust then”</p>
<p>Yeah - Thurs 8PM … LOL!</p>
<p>Like those commercials advertising products for “less than $50” - that sell them for $49.99.</p>
<p>I bet their offices are closed on Friday ;-)P</p>
<p>So the decisions are definitely through the portal, yeah? Not an email?</p>
