Colleges and Universities A-Z Williams College

<p>Just thought I'd make a thread seeing Williams seems to be the only college without a ED thread. I realize there is another one, but it's incorrectly labeled seeing Class of 2010 applied four years ago and it creates some confusion.</p>

<p>Well, personally I didn't apply ED (I regret that a lot) but I know some of you did and good luck! December 15th is in four days ;)</p>

<p>Remember, when finding out the "judgment," post your stats so the RD people and the future applicants can gauge themselves against you early birds :)</p>
