Williams College RD 2020

Just got my early write as well!

Are all of the early writes released at the same time or do they come out in batches?

@americannigerian FOR REALSIES!?!?!?!? AHHHHHHHHHHH

What is an “early write?” Do you have to get an early write to get accepted? Where can I check?

I just saw mine!! I’M SO EXCITED OMG

@jacobpilawa Nah a lot of people – majority of people who get accepted, I believe – don’t receive early writes/LLs.

@Grapess What is the difference? Like, who gets an early write/who doesn’t? I’m just confused on the process! Thanks so much!

@jacobpilawa Go back to the beginning of the thread, early writes are explained.

@ASJU9511 yep! Williams is different from most other colleges in that their version of a “likely letter” isn’t a likely letter, it’s an actual offer of admission. That’s why we can log into the portal and sign up for Preview Day, respond to the offer and see our FA award.

My decision still isn’t out. Is this something to be discouraged about?

@gearsstudio - not at all

Congratulations to everyone who got an early write!

Yep–congrats to all of you who got good news, and good luck to those of you who are still waiting!

I got accepted today! I’m so happy! This is my first college acceptance, other than from my state school and this feels amazing! :slight_smile: Good luck to everyone still waiting!

aww im a little upset. I wanted an early write (even though thats childish to want) :stuck_out_tongue:

Congrats to all of you! Are any of you internationals who applied for financial aid?

@americannigerian Aw that is awesome! I hope to see you at the Preview Day! :smiley:

@clueless96 Nope, I’m in the US but I applied for financial aid. :slight_smile:

Early writes, can you guys post stats, please?

Can someone please tell me what percentage of accepted students get likely letters/early writes? I am too nervous!
