@greenstudent Where did you get this information?
@ProfessorSnape @environed Wrong date sorry! I got confused about which discussion I was on!
were these early writes only given to URMs? if you’re a URM and didnt receive one does that mean you’re not in?
@allima I am not a URM and I received one. It has nothing to do with location, race, major, etc. It’s just if they really like you as an applicant and definitely want you based on your whole application.
If you are a URM and didn’t get one you shouldn’t worry at all. The majority of the people who are admitted RD won’t get an Early Write, it’s only a small number.
@Harvardgirl21 To say that “it has nothing to do with location, race, major, etc” is inaccurate. Sure, you can toss out location and field of interest, but to assert that race has nothing to do with admissions decisions - early write or otherwise - is disingenuous. Minority ethnicity, first gen status, and towering athleticism have a LOT to do with admissions and admission chances at Williams.
@CodyChesnutt I agree. Perhaps I was unclear. I meant that you don’t get an Early Write based on race, location, major, etc. ALONE, as @allima was implying (asking if they were ONLY given to URMs).
I see some Asian/White/URM male and female joining the Williams facebook group after receiving an early write.
My daughter received an early write on Friday. “Unhooked, white female.”
I received an early write. Upper middle class white male here.
Several newly admitted students on the FB page are legacies.
Dread these days then!
From the Williams website:
Good luck everyone!
@schoolview where did you read that? Could you post the link please?
It’s on the Admission main page in the top right corner. https://admission.williams.edu
Does evening mean 5:00?
@greenteen17 For ED results they said evening and they came out at 6, so I would expect the same for RD.
6 Eastern Time?
So nervous about decisions…Williams is my top choice and so far I’ve been rejected or waitlisted at every school that I wasn’t virtually guaranteed to get into.
Count down started …
Anxious, curious and nervous despite knowing well that it’ be asking for too much to hear anything positive after two rejections in a row in past few days !
Yep, I’m feeling a rejection coming, for I have zero hooks. An acceptance would be nice after two waitlists from Kenyon and Middlebury, but I really doubt Williams will accept me if those two schools didn’t. Well, good luck to everyone else!
