[raw monolith]

so HOPEFULLY

[vivid junco]

[supple raft]

Mine hasn't said anything about picking me up so I'm assuming no- i don't want to bother your dad though because you guys might have to wait a bit

[raw monolith]

right time to not get distracted and grind homework for 4 hours before my first decision of the day

[sharp vault]

so i am prepared to take a LOT of trains

[zealous pulsar]

did u get informed deliv

[restive crypt]

No i havent signed up for it

Too lazy

[wheat latch]

Are y’all domestic students?

[dusty pollen]

no

[viral osprey]

I am

[vivid junco]

i was told by my counselor to not speculate

on the contents of the package

arriving soon at my doorstep from williamstown ma

[viral osprey]

Yo counselor an opp

You got in

[vivid junco]

i hope lol

[proven aspen]

are decisions out?

[inland berry]

[viral osprey]

Later today evening

Still got 6-8 hours, no need to stress this early

Start stressin in the last half hour 😾‼️

[proven aspen]

[deep lantern]

i hope williams comes out at 6pm so i can say that ihave a decision every hour

please williams

just accept me 🥺

[last gust]

your counselor is a lil slow dont listen

you got in

trust

[chrome phoenix]

omfg how did u find that

[last gust]

usps informed delivery

[prisma field]

my portal just changed

they removed the checklist and added a photo of a little dragon

[last gust]

be fr

[last gust]

omg

you scared me BITHCH HCH

[chrome phoenix]

SHOULD NOT HAVE SIGNED UP FOR INFORMED DELIVERY i do not see it. ignorance was bliss

[viral osprey]

Bait right

Ur a junior

[chrome phoenix]

no just too lazy to change roles

[last gust]

NOO 😭😭😭

[grizzled lance]

me literally

[sacred vale]

im in ny.

im sad now

why did i sign up for informed delivery

im so sad

:(

[deep lantern]

my address doesn't qualify for informed delivery 😭 i cant spoil myself yet

which is weird cos idk why my address doesnt wqualify

[sacred vale]

if its my dads name

would that make a dofferent

[toxic hawk]

I meant that as in if you're in ny and didn't get it it might be cuz of the shorter distance

so they don't have to send it sooner

there's still hope!!

[restive marlin]

it's address based i think, bc my informed delivery shows stuff for my parents

[vivid junco]

It should show ur address

and mail that you’ve been receiving or any other packages you may have ordered

like I can see my family’s Amazon deliveries

[deep lantern]

oh to have informed delivery

although, im pretty sure amazon uses ups

[viral osprey]

then why would they use usps

wait nvm

im stupid

[grizzled lance]

wait does no one from the northeast have an informed delivery motif

[vivid junco]

ijdk it could mean absolutely nothing

could just be areject

waitlist

[grizzled lance]

nah

[sage fossil]

I haven’t seen anyone

[viral osprey]

dw gangs they hand delivering it to you

[deep arrow]

anyone know what time Williams comes out

[viral osprey]

looks like 6 pm est

[deep arrow]

bet

how’d you see that?

[viral osprey]

last year's comments lol

[deep arrow]

alr thanks :)

[viral osprey]

4 more hours!!

[zealous pulsar]

nobody in NE here has gotten an informed delivery package

[grizzled lance]

but would they really do it by region

georgia is not that far i feel like

[viral osprey]

i mean, relative to MA

it kinda is

[dusty pollen]

i would never sign up for usps if i were a domestic applicant

fuck that i'd rather find out for sure 4 hours later

[grizzled lance]

stop

i regret it

[dusty pollen]

why don't y'all

ask people

from past reddit threads

either that or touch grass

ask around if anyone's every gotten in without having the package listed on their informed delivery

i know this usps thing is real it's been happening for many years

judging by past reddit threads

[teal light]

I completely forgot williams was today

💀

So funny

[dim arrow]

I never knew about the informed deivery thing wat

[toxic hawk]

I wish I could forget

[grizzled lance]

Frfr. In the middle of nowhere

[sharp vault]

yeah williams is actually the worst if u don't know how to drive

it's just trees and museums for like a 40 mile radius

[alpine pendant]

How many do you think get waitlisted

[last gust]

they said 15% of applicants got waitlisted

but last year only 1 student got in from the waitlist

💀

[sage fossil]

They said 25 expected

This year

[keen anvil]

Yall got decision?

[alpine pendant]

Where did they say the 15%

[sage fossil]

[restive marlin]

FUCK YOU WILLIAMS I GOT UR RIVAL AMHERST

[lapis bear]

this financial aid is ASS

[last gust]

you going? 💀

[lapis bear]

i can't afford it

[last gust]

that sucks

i thought their fin aid was supposed to be rlly good

[lapis bear]

i want to so badly but i can't justify paying like 200k on undergrad

[restive crypt]

Yea same

[lapis bear]

and my parents definitely won't let me go with this kind of finaid

[restive crypt]

If u ask for more they will probably give it

[raw monolith]

rlly

[restive crypt]

I think theyre super generous since they have the first all grant program and everything

[lapis bear]

my finaid letter was super personalized

[raw monolith]

im like hiii my dad is making like nothing this year even tho he made sm last year 😁 help !!! 😁

[final thicket]

i got waitlisted (intl.)

[waxen frost]

has anyone who’s gotten in received their package yet

[random delta]

[vivid junco]

Pirate ship.com hahahahhaa

[raw monolith]

[rocky steppe]

With all due respect, Eph Williams. Nope, not mad

[sacred vale]

FACTS

[wicked quiver]

How common is being waitlisted

[restive crypt]

Supposedly they said 15%

[rocky steppe]

My kid is fine with it but I’m irrationally irritated. He couldn’t have done any more than he did and still not enough.

I will get over it

[vivid junco]

parents in this discord

lol

[sand gulch]

Williams BIG W

100% need met

[rocky steppe]

We’re everywhere 😛

[waxen frost]

this is so disconcerting 😭😭

[rocky steppe]

haha

[waxen frost]

i’m sure ur kid will get in somewhere amazing 🎉 college admissions has been seriously odd this year

[rocky steppe]

He’s in places, no worries, I just wanted this one for him more than some of the others. He’s gonna be fine.

[proven grotto]

congrats to everyone who got in - hope to see u this fall!!

[lavish dirge]

Dammit, rejected. International student with fin aid tho, so expected

[weak plaza]

I got rejected and I’m an international student

[vivid junco]

any of my fellow williams collegers waitlisted at ucla

[raw monolith]

wait hi hi do u know if there's a '27 server or groupme or anything like that

[lapis bear]

does anyone know what comes in the acceptance package

[sharp vault]

someone said a blanket and i'm praying that they were telling the truth

[lapis bear]

OMFG

who's that girl that was btwn williams and penn and went to penn

kayak or something

could we ask them

[sharp vault]

my friend got in ed so i can ask him too

[lapis bear]

@loud rain hiii we were wondering what came in your williams acceptance package last yr

sorry for ping

[loud rain]

wdym by what came

also congrats besties on williams

[lapis bear]

like what was in the package

[loud rain]

do what i couldnt 🤞

[lapis bear]

and thank you=))

[sharp vault]

ok my buddy leo says he got a beanie, some socks, a letter, and a little williams flag

[loud rain]

me too the beanie is kinda fun

the socks lowkey uncomfy

[lapis bear]

LOL not the finaid package like

[loud rain]

OHHH

[lapis bear]

the physical acceptance package

[loud rain]

RHE PHYSICAL APCKAGE

yeah

i got pins

socks

purple w/ yellow cow print

grey beanie with yellow W on it

and some stickers i think?

also confetti and a pennant

[sharp vault]

i really hope the socks aren't like towel material

[lapis bear]

that is incredible

[loud rain]

theyre fine but a little scratchy inside after constant use

[sharp vault]

makes sense

i'm so psyched to get it tho

[loud rain]

so happy for u!!

[lapis bear]

im so shocked i got in like

[sharp vault]

i got in along with 3 of my best friends so we can all match!!!!

[loud rain]

this threw me off bc i have a buddy named leo who likes williams a lot

[sharp vault]

the fact that they accepted 4 of us from my school is absolutely insane

[loud rain]

aw i love that so much for you guys!! i was admitted alongside 3 people i hated/who hated me so i did not go

[lapis bear]

i have to appeal financial aid and convince my parents that pre-engineering physics+envirosci is just as valid butttttttt i rlly want to go

[loud rain]

u got this, theyre a lot better about finaid appeals than penn was 💀

[dim arrow]

Congrats on williams everyone!! My acceptance package was also scratchy af fr fr

Also if anyone is interested im doing the WEPO Oxford program next year, if anyone is interested in that id be more then happy to help!

[dim arrow]

Penn is also extremely stingy with appeals, they rejected mine flat out 💀

[loud rain]

thats why u keep at it for 3 months 🤞

they lowered it after 2 months but it wasnt enough so i doubled down

[lapis bear]

the main reason i prob won't be able to go is they want to charge me 60k/year once my sister graduates from college

[dim arrow]

For some reason they really dont like giving aid

[loud rain]

fr like do you want me to commit or not

[vivid junco]

bro why is the williams college merch website literally from 1990

[loud rain]

all college merch sites are archaic or the same template

[dim arrow]

Im so sorry to here that, however i have a friend whk was in a similar situation here and they were super accomodating with giving her the aid that she needed! She didnt even need to file extra documentation for it either and she already committed

[lapis bear]

and even before that it's 36k/year... my sister is transferring to a more expensive college, my other sister is having a wedding and my parents are paying for everything

[dim arrow]

The store is run by the oldest man alive 😭its a family business here fr fr

[vivid junco]

ah gotcha lol

[lapis bear]

yeah it can't hurt to try, i'll definitely reach out to the finaid officer they gave me

[vivid junco]

any current students can tell me about math @ williams? specifically applied math pathway

[dim arrow]

Imma take it over and make it better fr

[loud rain]

i genuinely think williams would accomodate

[dim arrow]

Im literally friends wirh all the math profs

[loud rain]

they lowered my tuition from 65k to 21k because i said their npc said 21k

[lapis bear]

omfg

[dim arrow]

Yeah they are super generoud with it

I got a full ride here!

[loud rain]

meanwhile penn required every fuckin tax form and W2 whatever and my williams finaid package to finally get just below 30k 😒

[loud rain]

luv this for u

if williams was <15k id probably have chosen it over penn

[dim arrow]

Its cause im poor af dr fr, my one braincell was not the reason at all

[vivid junco]

is the math depart at williams p good?

[loud rain]

i wish i had gone to an LAC for stronger relationships with my profs but im doing decent in that regard since i go to some of my classes 15-30 mins early

[dim arrow]

In my opinion its amazing, i would have loved to do it if i started here as a freshman. 99% of the profs are amazing and they are super sweet

[sacred vale]

did one of those ppl go to stuy by any chance

[dim arrow]

Also we have the SMALL reu program if u know and its super easy to do math research here

[loud rain]

oh i mean my classmates at my hs but i think i know some stuy folks at williams

also DID U GET IN

[vivid junco]

wow!

[sacred vale]

i dont wanna talk about it

im so emo rn.

no lac sweep today

[vivid junco]

ah gotcha

[loud rain]

fuck williams bumass town anyway.

[sacred vale]

maybe next week

ONG

ill see u in upenn trust

[loud rain]

the only thing they got there are cows 🤡

[loud rain]

FRRRR

[lapis bear]

losing it at the name of this item on the williams merch store

Oh, yes, we did this! This isn't too subtle is it? Crewneck 1/4 zip sweatshirt covered in cow spots with 2 side pockets and W & WILLIAMS embroidered on the left chest. Mens sizes only. These do run a little big. Black & white.
9359-COWSPOTS
More details
$49.99

[loud rain]

😭

[lapis bear]

Oh, yes, we did this!

[loud rain]

love the willianms store

[sharp vault]

cows and trees and museums! dairy wonderland (if you can't drive you're fucked)

[loud rain]

theres this one piece of merch that is comic sans and what appears to be a microsoft paint drawn cow

and i almost bought it

[vivid junco]

isn't williams super like strict about having a car

[lapis bear]

wearing williams merch at georgia tech (where i will prob end up)

[dim arrow]

The core of the math program is based around linear algebra, Abstract algebra, and real analysis. You have total freedom in terms of what you wanna concentrate in and how deeply you wanna do it!

[loud rain]

me in my willy hoodie rn

my roomie has duke merch everything too

no penn loyalty ❌

[lapis bear]

i wish a hoodie came in the acceptance packag

[dim arrow]

I havent heard any complaints about the department, the department that gets the most shit honestly is environmental studies

[sacred vale]

fake

[lapis bear]

uh oh

[waxen frost]

would it be silly of me to buy williams merch when i might not go😭

[lapis bear]

what's wrong with envst

[lapis bear]

me right now

[loud rain]

soz if this is a goofy question but how would u describe the dating scene there

[loud rain]

tbh i did this and got into penn a week after i received the merch

its ok

its clothes

and purple/yellow is cute anyway

[sharp vault]

where can i find this please i am begging

[waxen frost]

my state school is purple yellow too LOL

[loud rain]

i will search for it

[sacred vale]

if the ONE lac i get into is mf colgate im throwing a fit

[dim arrow]

Its too theoretical, i think also because its new it their core requirments are still being worked out. If I were you id do geosciences, my favorite department here and the professors are so good

[sacred vale]

sob

[lapis bear]

wait HEYYY I know you from harvard applicants server

[vivid junco]

is the applied portion of the math department good?

[waxen frost]

STOP DUCH A TRAUMATIZING ERA OF MY LIFE 😭😭😭

[lapis bear]

i follow u on instagram🙏🏼

[loud rain]

"T-shirt with artistic cow and Williams College on the front. Purple."
https://www.williams-shop.com/contents/en-us/p2842.html

[waxen frost]

yasss as u should

[sharp vault]

bless you

[dim arrow]

Its all good fr fr, its a small school but from what i can tell people who date seriously tend to get married after graduation. If your straight its super chill

[lapis bear]

if i go to williams i will probably do physics+envst as prep for a grad school program in environmental engineering

[waxen frost]

wait that’s so cute

[loud rain]

its less than $20 which feels cheap as hell considering penn prices

[loud rain]

a girl i hate is having dating problems there god bless

just wasnt sure if it was williams or her

[sacred vale]

feeling so stressed

[loud rain]

its ok girl u got this.. u already have a full ride in the bag 💯

[waxen frost]

do y’all know what pre law is like at williams

[sacred vale]

ok but literally f macaulay like LMAOOO i want out of here

[dim arrow]

Absolutely yeah! I think the math department overall has all the resources you would need to go into applied methods and quant possibly if your into that. The deparment also i feel lile makes sure to give a lot of support for students who are into applied.

[loud rain]

its wild scythnerbaby u probably know people from my middle and high schools

[dim arrow]

Probably both, hookup culture is fucking huge here because people are scared of seeing their ex on campus

[dim arrow]

I can tell you all the tea fr fr

[loud rain]

hs part 2 moment tbh i just take my glasses off whenevrr i see my exes

[lapis bear]

declines spot

[dim arrow]

🫣

NOOOO

[loud rain]

its ok penn has worse hookup culture

[lapis bear]

im gay its hookup culture everywhere i go

[sacred vale]

kayak where do u ssee me at be honest

[loud rain]

and cheatung culture <3

[loud rain]

my brain says nyu

[sacred vale]

kms

[vivid junco]

wait isn't the apostrophe suppose to be before the 25

c/o '25

[loud rain]

😭 NO

[sacred vale]

L AFOAFO

[loud rain]

yes

[dim arrow]

Gay people like to date here tho i think personalky as a gay person here that qsu runs the campus lol

[loud rain]

slay

i cant imagine trying to date at penn

shits so intimidating

everyones so cold when u barely know them

[dim arrow]

Also people are so ambitious at these types of schools that people just often dont have time to date

[sharp vault]

oh my GOD i feel like everyone at penn is a scary finance bro

[sacred vale]

my type

[loud rain]

it feels that way tbh

the seas boys are kinda musty, the cas boys are largely homosexual, and the nursing boys kinda dont exist and the ones that do have 1000000 things to do

[sharp vault]

thank god for williams's healthy population of Nice Queers

[lapis bear]

need a nurse bf bad

[loud rain]

when he spends the next 16 years of his life in academia 🤤 /j

i got me an engineer so im chilling

[dim arrow]

williams is also a weird school in that it portrays itself as a cutesy liberal arts college but its actually an academically intense and driven campus. I feel like schools like bowdoin and middlebury are much different frim here in thag regard

[sharp vault]

when he wears shoes made of styrofoam and is always tired 😻

[lapis bear]

4 more missing assignments

[sacred vale]

i thought u were a girl for a long time

[lapis bear]

it's the pfp

and tone

[sacred vale]

no its cuz ur name is oat

[lapis bear]

oats r for girls only

[sacred vale]

literally

its a girl thing

[dim arrow]

Cereal is for boys

[sacred vale]

YES

CEREAL IS FOR BOYS!!

[lapis bear]

my top 2 choices rn could not be more different

[sharp vault]

oh my god i have already rationalized that if i go there i WILL spend all 4 years writing about whatever dumb protestant bullshit bach was composing instead of doing fun stupid useless music stuff

[dim arrow]

Whatre u thinkin between if u dont mind me askin!!

[sharp vault]

which is just as fun

[lapis bear]

gatech instate is my top choice

[sharp vault]

but way less cool

[dim arrow]

Omg congrats!!

[lapis bear]

very lucky to have it as a state school but i feel so locked down by it and i don't feel excited to go

[dim arrow]

I would say come to previews and see how you feel after, people usualky get a good feel for williams after

[lapis bear]

even though i'm pretty sure i want to do engineering i'm not really attracted to super techy schools

and at williams i can kinda explore and then apply to specialized grad schools instead of focusing on engineering from the get-go

[dim arrow]

si si absolutely

[sacred vale]

cmu is cool

[dim arrow]

Also there are a ton of pre engineering people here if your interested in engineering grad school

[lapis bear]

that's good to hear, i was a little scared i would be like the only person

[dim arrow]

You will be writing a shit ton about foucault and social theory fair warning

[dim arrow]

My friend in a club I started here is doing that rn, she was choosing between vandy engineering and willims

[proven grotto]

yes, i’ll dm it to you!

[raw monolith]

ahh ty!

[proven grotto]

if anyone else who is considering williams wants the groupme link, dm me!

[vivid junco]

pls dm!

[waxen frost]

yes please !

[lapis bear]

is there an instagram gc yet?

[proven grotto]

there is but insta only allows 250 people max so we are switching to the groupme to fit all 550!

well more than 550 bc some are still deciding

[vivid junco]

when discord

[waxen frost]

a gc of 500+ ppl sounds terrifying haha

[lapis bear]

scouring the internet trying to find pics of the acceptance package

[vivid junco]

i think the blanket is a myth

[lapis bear]

exactly

[proven grotto]

i got purple cow socks, a gray williams beanie, a williams pennet flag, and a congratulations card

it came the next business day too

[vivid junco]

ugh i have to wait until march 21

alaska things

hey current students are there good boba at williams?

[dim arrow]

We have boba tuesdays in the student run cafe and the blue mango resturant always sells boba

to whether its good is up for debate

[vivid junco]

holy i did not realize how small williamstown is

LOL

[proven grotto]

yeah it’s very small 😭 but the resources are soo unmatched for its size and location

[vivid junco]

and i thought little alaska was 'rural'

LOL

it literally is just the college..

[proven grotto]

yeah that and spring street, which has i think everything u need. but there are always buses to the bigger cities and towns nearby!

and the scenery is so beautiful

[vivid junco]

how's the x country skiing

[proven grotto]

i love to xc skj, i know there’s a ton of hiking trails nearby which means there’s def XC ski. the college also owns Hopkins Memorial Forest and is not far from jiminy peak and also some other VT ski areas

https://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/Skiing

check this out @vivid junco !!

the entire website is great, it’s sometimes outdated but helpful

[vivid junco]

thanks sm!

[proven grotto]

ofc lmk if i can help w anything else :)

[carmine anvil]

Not really lol

It is pretty lacking

Spring street kinda sad and transportation is pretty bad without a car

I love Williams but that's one of the main downsides

[carmine anvil]

I really love the math department teachers here, always hear great things

I haven't taken many math class but the one I took is so good

[carmine anvil]

Great teachers, math is one of the stronger departments. Teaching wise you can't get much better from what it seems

@dim arrow lol do you mind if I ask a question about upperclassmen housing

[vivid junco]

do they let you view admissions file?

im curious what got me in for reference for my siblings lol

[carmine anvil]

no clue idk anyone who tried

[olive elk]

DID ANY OF Y'ALL GET IN

[vivid junco]

me

[olive elk]

ME TOO CAN I DM?

[vivid junco]

ya

[carmine anvil]

You could DM me too if you want, I go to Williams

And in general if you want to ask someone at Williams, you could send email through https://www.williams.edu/admission-aid/connect/ask-an-eph/.

They get paid for the time they respond to emails so I think they welcome emails lol

[vivid junco]

i used your previous replies in this discord to confirm that i got into williams last night lol

with the whole informed delivery

[carmine anvil]

Nicee

Good for you !!

[vivid junco]

well I wasn't sure but it seemed like it was gonna happen

[olive elk]

oh thank you sm!!

[vivid junco]

what else would they be mailing lol

[olive elk]

I'll just dm you in a bit!

[vivid junco]

ok now the question is

do i buy merch now

or do i wait for the rest of my decisions

lol

[carmine anvil]

Are u gonna go to Williams previews

[vivid junco]

umm i'm gonna figure that out

is it pretty hard to get to williams

[carmine anvil]

Yeah, well depends where you are from and what day of the week previews is

[vivid junco]

im from alaska lol

[carmine anvil]

Okay lmao far regardless

U can fly to Albany and they might have buses running from Alabany for previews? Idk but Albany is expensive to fly to

Or you could go to New York and take peter pan bus or Amtrak (lots of transfers?

Could also drive from Boston

[vivid junco]

ah okay i see
