My son submitted back in September, and surprisingly his school was great sending in his file the same day. However, September seems like years ago, and the wait seems like forever ago.
I read somewhere that the decisions are usually sent out on Friday’s which would make the decision day fall on December 11th. Fingers crossed it will be a few days earlier than the 15th.
Agreed that December 11 is a possibility, in prior years they have posted the specific release date on the admissions website at the beginning on December. In any case, good luck to all and know that no matter what the result, there will be many great choices and schools to consider.
Hello Future Williams Parents & Good Luck!
My S, knock on wood, is an athletic recruit, applied ED1, and we are just waiting and hoping everything goes as planned (had full coaches support). Of course, nothing is guaranteed, so we wait patiently for the results which should be about 20 days from today! whoohoo!
Good Luck to all:o)
Great to hear this @Norcal2023, just to clarify, technically, Williams just has one early decision round, not ED1 and ED2 like Pomona and Swarthmore have. Best of luck and hopefully you hear first week of December.
Hey guys, did anyone receive an email from Williams asking for additional financial documents/notification of the decision release? Thank You!
These requests have been made in the past, they may be confirming details for the aid package; however, hard to know for sure. I would take it as good sign.
Yes, I filled out the FAFSA and last week received an email about 1 doc not filled out and they sent us doc directly and we just had to sign - easy peasy. We by passed FAFSA .
Again, as a recruited athlete I hope all the anxiety is for not! Good Luck everyone!

@Norcal2023 What sport? Son is a swim recruit and we are also in NorCal anxiously awaiting a response from the Admission Office. Assuming good news for both would be great to connect future Ephs from the area.
There are regional send off barbeques in the summer before the fall semester hosted by the local alumni associations where new, current and recently graduated Ephs from your area meet up.

Will it be this Friday? Anyone hear anything ?
Good luck everyone, they typically post the release date on the website a few days before.

Is there a specific URL within their website they might use to post the release date?
Admission & Financial Aid I’ve been checking all day, it just popped up. This is so scary, I can’t believe it’s only 3 days away. Good luck everyone!

Do you have to be logged in to see the ED announcement? I could not find anything about decisions. @TennisParent very impressive that they can go through so many applications so quickly. Good luck to you all.
It is on the Williams admissions general website. There is a bullhorn up top where the announcement is. It was not announced on the personal admissions portal. Good luck, 
!
Good luck, everyone! I hope that you’ll be fellow 2025 parents.

Good Luck Everyone (parents and kids!)
I am a little fuzzy, do we login into
https://myadmission.williams.edu/account/login
and we will see if our child got accepted or not?
Thank you,
I believe they send an email notice to check the portal and then when you go in the portal, the letter is presented.
