does williams send an email announcing their release date as pomona does?
In the past, for both early and regular decision, they added to the admissions page in the Williams College website a little yellow bullhorn with an announcement of the decision release date, just a few days before the decisions were released.
Good luck, everybody!
Thanks @TheGreyKing that’s helpful! Also, selfishly, I’ll be glad if they don’t send an email to the kids to let them know. S19 is running well and will get to run at the conference meet on Friday night. He’s super focused on it and knowing a Williams decision is out there would be distracting. I won’t tell him until after the meet to check his portal. My prediction is waitlist…
Is this the pre-release bullhorn? Their is no date announced, just the words “information for admitted students” next to a yellow bullhorn
No. That’s for the ED kids. If you click on it, it gives dates for accepted students days etc.
Thanks @homerdog, that explains it. My iPad wasn’t able to access the link when I tried. I should have figured though. Good luck to your S19!
@UMDreamer you too! I wish we knew the date. S19 is running the 1600 at conference this Friday night and isn’t focused on college decisions right now. If Williams is Friday, I’ll want to see if I can keep it on the down low until after his race!
I can’t access that new student info either on my phone but I can on my chrome book.
Wow! Running is intense and I wouldn’t want to stress over decisions before a race either. Way too much stress! I am not such a great runner but I definitely exudes stress before a track meet. I get extremely anxious. Hope you get some exciting news!
I’m trying not to get my hopes up because I feel rejections coming, but I can’t help wondering and waiting anxiously.
@UMDreamer he’s more excited than anxious but it’s a big race. Top 12 in the conference get to race. The top 6 in this group will run faster than 4:22. The rest shouldn’t be too far behind. S19 shooting for a 4:30 which will be a PR for him. The only reason he got a spot is because one of his school’s top two milers is out hurt. That boy is going to an Ivy to run and so is the other boy from our school chosen to run this race. It willl be intense but it’s good to have something else to think about!
I definitely agree that it’s a great distraction, and honestly a great way to de stress when not racing for me at least. I hope he does PR at the race, as getting a new PR can be very exciting. It really does take devotion to improve when running and a PR is a progress check point that tells me I can do it; that my effort is showing results. Even so, my PR for the girls 1600m is only 7:10. Well, good luck to your son at his race and with college admissions. Hope you hear the best of news these next few days. At my school I don’t think anyone has been admitted to the Ivy League. It’s very uncommon. Not many apply because they think they are not qualified.
Good luck to all posters following this thread with your upcoming college decisions! Everything happens for a reason! It’s cliche but true!
Thanks @UMDreamer good luck to you too! It’s going to be a crazy couple of weeks.
I’m rly hoping it’s this Thursday or Friday. It would be so helpful if all schools gave an exact release date haha
They are being released on Monday the 18th. It says now on the website.
Thank you for the info @nycsenior525!
Thank you for the update! That is a little later than expected (but still much earlier than April 1, so I am happy). Do you all think this is to accommodate a jump in applications? Also, it does not give a specific time—it only says evening. Does anyone know what time they released last year? That would be a good indication for this year…
Hi everyone! From my understanding they were released last year at 7pm so maybe like 5-7???
Where exactly were you seeing that on their website? I can’t seem to find anything along those lines.
@applebh it’s in the admissions section, just above the yellow student profile box. Had a blow horn next to it.
based on prior releases, my guess would be 6 pm ET
