Williams Fall 2019 Transfer

@glassturtle I wish you the best. I know how much the odds are stacked against us cc transfers, but i am hopeful that this year will be fruitful for those of us who have taken our journey at a cc very seriously. If you do not mind, is there any other LAC’s with which you have applied?

@noitpmeder does it say waived for your SAT on your checklist?

@IndirectProofs yes

I am surprised they waived it. Most colleges will consider your application without the SAT if you’ve never taken it, but I have never heard of them waiving it entirely. Usually the red x will still appear.

@KirkingItUp Thank you for your response, it means a lot. I think I definitely do bring a different perspective. My application focuses on the fact that I missed all four years of high school, but things changed later in life when by chance I found out that I had talent in mathematics after having not learned it for the first 24 years of my life. I’ve built up several accomplishments in mathematics and I’ve been giving talks at several events (like awards ceremonies and graduations) about how I’ve overcome extreme circumstances and managed to catch up in mathematics and contribute math solutions to magazines and I’m heavily involved with competition math. I’m also going to be featured on a news website (for mathematics).

I have no idea what to expect from applying to Williams only to say that I would be so honored to be accepted. I know it’s like playing the lottery though.

@IndirectProofs I was not aware of this. Williams has been extremely helpful during my admission process. I can say that the admissions officers are attentive. They have replied to all my inquiries in a timely manner.

I wish all of you the best. Fingers crossed for all of us!

Does anyone have any idea when results will be released?

The website says April 15, but that seems so soon. Good luck to everyone!

I think it may be even sooner?

That would be nice! You are right, it could be sooner.

They will be in by Friday. Good luck everyone! Hope to meet you soon. :slight_smile:

Wow things just got so much more real. Williams is so selective so I think of it as winning the lottery. :slight_smile:

I hope I win :hushed:

@KirkingItUp wait really?! we will be able to see our decisions by this Friday?!! no way…

@IndirectProofs i just can’t believe it’s so soon!! i’m kind of freaking out haha

@glassturtle I know, I’m freaking out too! I have no idea what to expect.

I guess I just have to try not to think about it :smiley:

@IndirectProofs that’s the ONLY thing i’m gonna be thinking about for the next three days haha

@IndirectProofs I just think it is so funny that we were both like, April 15 seems so soon. And then @KirkingItUp was like “nope, even sooner” !!

also, could any of you answer a question about financial aid and admissions?
