<p>Has Williams contacted any of the waitlisted students this year or not? I want to know if they are going to use it all..</p>
<p>Second on this question!</p>
<p>Today’s Williams Record has an article about this and state that they may add 25 to 30 students from a group of 300 on the “active wait list”.</p>
<p>[Class</a> of ?17 yields 45 percent ? The Williams Record](<a href=“http://williamsrecord.com/2013/05/08/class-of-17-yields-45-percent/]Class”>http://williamsrecord.com/2013/05/08/class-of-17-yields-45-percent/)</p>
<p>I just received an offer of admission off the waiting list. The director of admission stated in the letter that they’ve made such an offer to about 30 people.</p>
<p>Congrats and welcome to the Purple Bubble!!</p>
<p>Anyone to confirm?</p>
<p>Did the admission officer call you or send the e-mail to you?|</p>
<p>Did anyone else get off the waitlist yet?</p>
<p>@imbasedgod,</p>
<p>sorry to bug you, but did the letter say that selections were already over? or that they are still continuing?</p>
<p>That person is probably lying. Apparently you get a call, not a letter…</p>
<p>yeah and they wont decide that they need 30 students and pick those students in only one day at 8 PM!</p>
<p>my counselor called about a week ago and they said they planned to take between 20 and 30 initially and “trickle in” the rest throughout May and June. imbasedgod sounds right. any other offers of admission?</p>
<p>I got in off the wait list, and the email did say 30 people got in.</p>
<p>Are you going to attend? I’m at the campus now but still undecided.</p>
<p>Yes, I am going to attend. Williams is perfect for me in every way, excluding my slight disappointment that no one at my school has ever heard of it. Where are you choosing between?</p>
<p>For the two people who got in, when do you guys have to respond by? </p>
<p>Did they give you a week to decide, or more? (if you don’t mind me asking)</p>
<p>48 hours after receiving financial aid offer.</p>
<p>Anyone college educated who has not heard of Williams has been sleeping under a rock for 100 years.</p>
<p>Insidelane, I wish I could agree, but sadly it’s not true … I’ve met plenty of educated people who have never heard of Williams, especially those who went to larger state institutions in other parts of the country. You’d be surprised how many really intelligent people just weren’t exposed to even the idea of small private colleges when they were looking for schools, and if they’ve never encountered Williams alums, they still might know nothing about the school. The forgettable-sounding name doesn’t help. Certainly, virtually no one at my pretty good high school in the northeast had heard of Williams. </p>
<p>What I will say is that anyone who has actually had any influence over my career and who were in the habit of serving as gatekeepers … grad school admissions officers, judges, hiring partners at law firms, supervisors in gov’t jobs … all had the utmost regard for Williams. So long as those people in a direct position to exert influence over my career path respected the Williams brand, I could care less whether folks I went to high school with or met at a party were impressed.</p>
<p>any updates on anyone’s waitlist status?</p>
<p>got off the list! SO THRILLED!</p>
