Hey, looks like there is no thread for Regular Decision applicants, so I said why not start a discussion!
For RD this year, given the recent jump in applications, will be interesting to how the applicant pool is changing. Beyond the numbers, Williams seems to be attracting a broader range of applications in terms of diversity, international and academic/extracurricular areas of interest and is aggressively recruiting first gen students.
Howdy, other Williams applicants!
Hello Everyone, another Williams applicant here!
Could someone please tell me when decisions will be released?
Last year RD results were released March 15.
@TennisParent I see, thanks.
I wonder how many applicants applied this year given last year’s increase.
There was an article in the Washington Post about the ED applications for several schools including Williams and the number was slightly lower than last year which was a record; so it seems applications will be similar to last year. Nonetheless, applications have been increasing significantly the last couple of years, so could be the same this year as last.
when do results come out for RD?
April 1 is the official date but the actual release is mid-March, typically on a Friday the week or two before. They typically post the release date on the admissions website a week before the release.
So March 15 is a possibility?
@memelover123 based on the last two years of RD release dates, my guess is the 15th
Also, a few candidates receive an offer “early” and it looks like some have posted on social media that they have received a letter.
@TennisParent do you know if they were emails or hard copy letters?
Last year they sent out early writes via email on Saturday March 10 so maybe some will come tomorrow.
I looked at last year’s thread and every early write there was for a student who was URM. Pretty sure S19 won’t be hearing anything until next week!
@homerdog (we meet again :)) ). After a quick read through last years thread, it sounds like they stopped doing early writes. So assuming that is still the case for this year, your S19 won’t be waiting alone :-SS
hey, international williams applicant here! good luck to everyone!!
Actually, the decision could be March 14th right? Because the 15th was a Thursday last year.
