Windows on Williams 2012

<p>Did anybody get into the WOW program?!</p>

<p>I did! I signed up for the one that takes place in September :)</p>

<p>yayayayay me too ^__^</p>

<p>I did as well! Unfortunately, I will be doing October, as I will miss no school that way; I just hope there’ll be a lot of others then as well since I’ve heard of so many doing September.</p>

<p>But a huge congrats!!! I’ve heard that the program is quite competitive!</p>

<p>What is the WOW (Windows on Williams) program? I haven’t heard of it.</p>

<p>I assume theres no specific date when everyone finds out. I just got an email telling me the due date is Aug. 19th. Hopefully I can join you guys!</p>

<p>Well I applied for the priority term!</p>

<p>Good Luckk!</p>

<p>Thanks! It says that preference is given to low-income and first gen kids…and I fall under both! Hope this helps me!</p>

<p>Also, can anyone share their stats? GPA, SAT, things like that? Just wanna see if I compare.</p>

<p>^ To my understanding, pixels, stats are not the most important portion. Rather, a strong essay seems to be the most relevant part. I have far from perfect test scores, but I have other aspects that I feel passionately about and my essay was pretty good IMO. Good luck!!</p>

<p>@LeaderTomorrow: Thanks for the insight!</p>

<p>Woot! I got accepted!</p>

<p>I just got in, too! Super excited since I didn’t know if I would want to apply to any LACs. Do you guys know how competitive this program is and if it gives an advantage in the actual admission process to Williams?</p>

<p>Its probably less than 50% (at most), and likely far less, tbh. And hopefully it will help come admission time! </p>

<p>Do you mean that less than 50% of applicants are accepted?</p>

<p>Yeah, I read that it’s about 150 seniors who are accepted to WoW every year. That is so crazy! Maybe we’ll be at the same session, pixels! I’m probably going to do the October session.</p>

<p>Yeah, I read somewhere that said less than half of applicants are accepted, but how much less is anybodies guess. Anyway, its a great honor, IMO, to be selected. </p>

<p>But yeah, I agree, this is crazy! I’m so excited! I’ll be going to the September session though. I don’t wanna miss my schools pep rally and homecoming.</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone who got in! I’ll see you guys in October!</p>

<p>Anyone know what we’ll be doing there?</p>

<p>Anyone taking the train up to Albany from Penn Station in September?</p>

<p>Pixels, I am!</p>
