[li] Why you think you were accepted/deferred/denied:[/li][/ul]Other Factors: General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations etc.:
this sucks i really wanted to go, waitlisted at harvard and yale too rejected at princeton, my ED school</p>
<p>does Williams send e-mail notifications to internationals in batches to certain countries first, or do they do it in order of acceptance --> waitlist --> rejection?</p>
<p>sorry those are my princeton stats: rejected after deferred there and waitlisted elsewhere
You guys might still get in there must just be something wrong with me, everyone loves to waitlist me
i did get an EW to Amherst and early notification from Cornell, which is strange</p>
