Williams College waitlist for class of 2023

Hi, I created this thread to keep everyone posted regarding any movement on the waitlist… If you receive an offer or have new information, please post here.

Past data from Williams CDS:

  • 2018/2019: 1772 waitlisted, 653 accepted the spot on the waitlist and 76 were accepted;
  • 2017/2018: 1796 waitlisted, 673 accepted the spot on the waitlist and 0 were accepted;

*This year they are also expecting a class of 550.

Last year people started receiving “reconfirm your interest” emails in the first days of May, let’s see what happens this year.

Anyone receive an email asking to re-affirm their interest?

Nothing, what about you?

Someone at reddit got off the waitlist yesterday

hi! i was the person who posted on reddit who got into Williams off of the waitlist on May 2nd. i received an email that directed me to my portal and my acceptance letter was there.

Wow - congratulations. Good to know they’re going to the waitlist at least. I thought most schools were calling…will keep a (hopeful) watch on my email.

Any news? Someone accepted today? There are a lot of new members in their facebook group…

I personally got an email on the evening of May 2nd, never got call or VM, accepted after a few days and switched from Amherst, sent in April continued Interest letter and two extra recs, could have been overdone but it worked

Btw I am not a minority or legacy so I guess there is still hope for everyone in that respect

soo was I the only one who got released or?..
