<p>General Comments:Counselors were shocked that I got in...first from my school in four years. I did NOT expect to get in. You could imagine my shock, awe, and joy when I came home to find the big, beautiful envelope =D</p>

<p>Got an e-mail !!! :D </p>

<p>Love the way it was personalized and all, mentioning my academic interests, and the activities that were mentioned in my app...</p>

<p>asadliaqat: congratulations on your acceptance! what time did you get your e-mail btw?</p>

<p>Can someone tell me if it came priority mail and was it a special envelope or package?</p>

<p>Holy crap! when does the email finally comes! I am intl from Ukraine and I've gotten nothing so far. Do they send emails to intls? is it a snail mail?</p>

<p>Emails. By today or tomorrow.</p>

<p>I really hope i get in...it would really make me happy after a Princeton rejection because I love Williams just about as much as i loved Princeton.</p>

<p>It seems that Williams has sent emails to all internationals who are admitted...one of my classmates has got one...</p>

<p>has any of you internationals gotten e-mails rejecting or waitlisting you?</p>

<p>No, I got one from Amherst rejecting me, though,</p>

<p>does Williams send out e-mail notifications to internationals in batches to certain regions first, or do they do it in the order of acceptance --> waitlist -->rejection?</p>

<p>anyone any idea?</p>

<p>*Decision: Waitlisted *</p>
