If everyone applying could please post their stats, advice, experiences, etc… it would be much appreciated

- Secretary of the Economics Club
- Member of The Model United Nations team

Williams is absolutely my first choice! Yesterday I just got accepted to NYU for Fall, but am holding off until hearing from Williams. I also applied to Amherst and Swarthmore.
Rejected! Will likely be transferring to NYU cas.
Rejected, but they only take around 12 transfer each year so not surprised (already have an offer at Penn)
Rejected, but wasn’t expecting much either given their small transfer program
Rejected
On the waitlist, the letter said there were 270 applications for 8 openings.
