Williams College (2023-2024)

[sturdy rivet]

Uh I think williams, amherst, and wellesley let me check

yes

those 3

2/3 rejections fs

[fresh dust]

you will surely get in at least one of them

[sturdy rivet]

I got into wellesley's fly in so I think I will get in there

bc they care about demonstrated interest a ton and I kept going to seminars and all after

[fresh dust]

lets hope you get in

god bless you

[chilly jasper]

Did williams send out notifications of the release date last year

[sturdy rivet]

it's ok if I don't I lowkey disliked the school after attending the fly in LOL

[sturdy rivet]

aww ty

[gritty charm]

i heard someone say they send it a day or two before

so we are expecting an email tmr or the day after if its out friday

[fast copper]

is williiams on lac day?

when even is lac day

[autumn plume]

15th march, pomona releases

so, probably williams will release the same day

[brazen oyster]

this friday!

williams so mysterious

[frail pike]

has Williams historically always come out on LAC day?

[hasty kettle]

yes

[frail pike]

YAY

[tranquil dagger]

one of very few lacs i applied to 🙏

[frail pike]

the only lac i applied to ☝️😀

[fresh dust]

when is williams coming out

oh 15th

[obtuse juniper]

are you all opening the decisions as they come in or are you waiting for all of them (just on that day)?

[boreal patio]

i'm waiting for all of them

[main charm]

how

theres no way im waiting 2 seconds longer

i gotta know my fate bro

[boreal patio]

I got lucky and I have work during the times they might release so I'll use that to distract me

[fresh dust]

what time do they drop

[boreal patio]

not exactly sure, but in past years it has been between 5 and 8

[obtuse juniper]

oh no, that's like 1am here

[obtuse juniper]

i guess i'll be doing what you're doing haha

[opaque gust]

Bruh still no email saying when its coming out

Why can’t they just let us know 😭

[gritty charm]

frrrrr

[brazen oyster]

something tells me it’s not coming out i friday

[opaque gust]

Yeah bc if it is they would just tell us

But I had a friend who applied ed who said they didn’t let her know beforehand

[gritty charm]

does anyone know if they historically released on LAC day

or was it just last year

[brazen oyster]

they always have

ive looked yhru the threads

[gritty charm]

yea prob friday then i dont see a reason why they would change it

[tranquil dagger]

i really hope it does

[limpid plover]

when is lac day?

friday?

[fresh dust]

this friday

[limpid plover]

thanks

[fresh dust]

the thing is williams amherst havven't published their release date

idk why

this could be due to FAFSA forms distruption

but pomona has released it decision date

[limpid plover]

oh dam

what about swarthmore

[willow musk]

https://applyingto.college/decision-calendar

says 3/15 but not confirmed anywhere i think

[limpid plover]

oh thank

[deep cobalt]

i assume williams will follow pomona but who knows

so many disruptions in deciison dates this yr

[autumn plume]

are we convinced 3/15? or is it 3/21?

[opaque gust]

I think they would give at least a 24 hour notice

So prob next Friday

[rotund heath]

praying they just don’t notify us and release tmrw

[tranquil dagger]

same lol

[autumn plume]

still more than 24 hours remaining

so, they could notify us after 4-5 hours

[tranquil dagger]

^^

[little trellis]

Fr

[loud comet]

any news on when williams release?

[main charm]

just check insta itll be a faster reply than here

[opaque gust]

They haven’t posted anything and the Williams portal checklist is still there

I think it’s coming out next Friday 😭

[fresh dust]

They don’t post

They just posted this last yr

They have a history of cold dropping

[opaque gust]

For ed this year they gave a notice

It was a short notice but they still gave one

But idk I hope it’s tomorrow 🤞

[thick pumice]

So jealous of you all

Hope it goes well guys

[brazen oyster]

no they email counselors usually

and put it on the website

[fresh dust]

Strange

[brazen oyster]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-sad-cry-gif-24016801

[fresh dust]

😔

Damn I just wanted to get it over w

Why wouldn’t they release on LAC

[brazen oyster]

i think most schools

will not release

on lac

i wonder why

i dont see why they would push forward the commitment deadline AND the decision date

maybe something else happened

[main charm]

Could be lying

U dont know

[reef ivy]

i think some lacs couldn't finish reviewing applications

[brazen oyster]

but would they see that big of a spike?

[reef ivy]

idk really just guessing

[brazen oyster]

this yr has been sooo weird

[reef ivy]

its gonna be even more weird after decisions tho

[misty tree]

😭😭😭😭😭 damn it.

[main charm]

please 💀 theres no way

[main charm]

every year is shittier cuz acceptances continue decreasing by 1% every year it sucks

[reef ivy]

some aos might be procastinators and that is okay

[main charm]

aos have no hearts

[sterile remnant]

seeing as I keep getting WL im pretty sure its bad this yr

[rotund heath]

i think they are lying, because i called and they just won’t give you a straight answer just by April 1st.

it’s gonna be tmrw hopefully or atl next week

[main charm]

honestly a lot of schools do cold dropping so i think they just dont care lol

[gritty charm]

Thank god

[sturdy rivet]

Williams tmr?

[gritty charm]

Pls tmr

[sturdy rivet]

Oh it’s not

[frail pike]

PLEASE. tmr 🧎‍♀️

[opaque gust]

LMAOO why would they lie abt this

[brazen oyster]

yea

yall idk if its tmtw

this is unusual for williams

[honest ginkgo]

WOAH

omg that's crazy

bowdoin was also supposed to come out this friday but won't either

[fervent parrot]

tbf theres like ppl who lie everyday in the uc thread

[brazen oyster]

the uc crowd and the lac crowd is rly diff tho

[rotund heath]

not the AO, but people on college confidential make up stuff all the time

[main charm]

u dont know

[rigid sapphire]

we so back

[main charm]

some people like to lie for fun

[misty tree]

bowdoin never said a date tho neither did williams. could still come out tomorrow.

[brazen oyster]

bowdoin told me i had until the 15th ti shbmit my transcript

dk if theyd tell me that if drcisiond were on the 15th

[gritty charm]

oh...

[sterile remnant]

a lot of lacs are also coming out on the 16th too

[sturdy rivet]

Wellesleyyyy

[sterile remnant]

speak of the devil

[craggy summit]

yepp just received that too!

glad to see another person who applied to bates :D

[sterile remnant]

i did all 3 maine lacs

[craggy summit]

oh valid

[opaque gust]

Did anyone apply to Williams over Amherst or did everyone just do both?

[crisp stirrup]

good luck all

again dms open for anyone who has q’s about Williams

[craggy summit]

both

[boreal patio]

same

[craggy summit]

originally was just going to apply amherst though but i was encouraged to apply to williams as well

[sterile remnant]

both

but originally it was just williams

[deep cobalt]

i did williams over amherst because the campus was nicer imo, i didnt like amherst's dining hall and the way the campus is set up

[sturdy rivet]

Both

[opaque gust]

Have y’all visited? It was too far for me to visit so I literally have no idea what campus looks like

[deep cobalt]

i visited bc i had to go to upstate ny to take care of family

it is kind of secluded tho

we had to drived through some mountains and little towns

[frail pike]

did Williams over Amherst ☝️

[rigid sapphire]

williams goated

got deferred tho so we stay praying

[hasty swallow]

is williams predicted for tmrw

[deep cobalt]

it was

but we r not sure

could be delayed

[honest ginkgo]

they did send out an email saying that the "the Admissions Committee continues to review applications" yesterday so that's why i'm guessing it's not gonna be tmr

this is for bowdoin btw

[misty tree]

oh yea, but it could be tomorrow never know like a surprise.

[honest ginkgo]

i would die

[limpid plover]

guys i saw it in a dream amherst and williams come out tomorrow (/j, obviously)

[opaque gust]

Do we still think it’s coming out today?? 🫣

[buoyant thicket]

they didnt send any email

and ivy wise website says by april 1st

did they email last time

?

[limpid plover]

if this helps

[buoyant thicket]

thanks

helps alot

[pale temple]

bro isn’t swarthmore today

[limpid plover]

i have no idea i just looked it up on CC 😭

[pale temple]

i don’t really trust college confidential

[limpid plover]

yeah fair, lots of speculation and anxious parents

[rotund heath]

williams isn’t today, just called confirmed for March 22nd so next friday

[limpid plover]

ohh thank you!!

[obtuse juniper]

yeah it's official https://www.williams.edu/admission-aid/

[misty tree]

thank you 🙏🏽!!! decisions are march 22nd.

[limpid plover]

thank you!!

[frail pike]

thank you !! :D

[obtuse juniper]

no problem 🙂

[little trellis]

!williams

[hearty shoal]

one more week 😭😭😭😭😭

[little trellis]

!williams

[dim vapor]

.

[tranquil dagger]

williams confirmed for 22nd???

[gritty charm]

Yes

[brazen oyster]

since theres a wk ledt should i updaye the admissions team abt getting hsf finalist

[tranquil dagger]

aw man

[hasty kettle]

damn they really clowned you guys

[tranquil dagger]

this is so sad

[hasty kettle]

this is why I'm applying ED this fall 🫡

[misty tree]

make sure you submit writing supplement and try to do windows on williams program when you apply !!!

[hasty kettle]

I'm upper middle class (~150k) so I don't think I qualify for WoW. am I wrong?

writing supplement definitely. was it an auto reject if people didn't send it this year?

[brazen oyster]

u prob dont

[obtuse juniper]

i didn't send mine (RD) because i'm doing the IB and all of my papers for it were official and aren't supposed to be shown to anyone with my name attached - am i in trouble?

[hasty kettle]

yeah exactly

[misty tree]

dang 😭.

[hasty kettle]

why dang lmao

[tranquil dagger]

im doing ib and sent mine

💀

[obtuse juniper]

also I haven't written anything below 5 pages lol

[misty tree]

it’s for low income, i didn’t apply and i regret it.

[tranquil dagger]

WAIT 5 PAGES

MINE WAS 23 PAGES

💀

[hasty kettle]

what's IB

[obtuse juniper]

it said three to five pages did it not?

[brazen oyster]

it did

[frail pike]

bro 💀

[hasty kettle]

well I'm not low income so I probably shouldn't apply then right?

[frail pike]

i didn’t send cuz all my works were too long

[tranquil dagger]

💀

prob

[obtuse juniper]

international baccalaureate, it's an 11th and 12th grade international diploma program

[hasty kettle]

oh

right

[obtuse juniper]

they make you write a big essay for each class that is sent to external moderators (usually teachers around the world)

[hasty kettle]

I thought investment banking and was like what does that have to do with williams lol

[obtuse juniper]

oh dear

[obtuse juniper]

oh hahah nono

[tranquil dagger]

oh lord

please williams

[frail pike]

bros cooked

[tranquil dagger]

atleast read the first 5 pages 🙏

the first 5 pages of my paper were 🔥 🔥 tho

[obtuse juniper]

but actually, am i in trouble if i didn't submit at all?

[hasty kettle]

yeah I visited williams because we are within short driving distance so I don't think it's for me ☠️

[frail pike]

cooked in a good way

[hasty kettle]

besides I'll apply ED so it's not like I'm not showing them I want to go

did anyone here get in ED?

[brazen oyster]

no idts

also

the writing supp is brand new i think

so we cant rly say ifbits bad or not bad

did u specifiy why u didht submit anything?

[obtuse juniper]

ah that makes sense

no, i didn't see a good place to do so

do you think i should send an email and ask if i can still send the first bit of one?

or is that bringing negative attention to me lol

[brazen oyster]

yes sure

[brazen oyster]

ehhh

idk

cuz

[obtuse juniper]

or i could email and explain

one of the two i guess

[brazen oyster]

yes i def would

take advantage of the extra wk

[obtuse juniper]

okay thank you, i think i'll do that

[brazen oyster]

it wont hurt

[fresh dust]

you don't qualify for williams fly in but i'd recommend trying for some less income based ones like amherst and dartmouth

[limpid plover]

oh congrats! never made this kind of update, but it sounds like a big deal so

[brazen oyster]

thank you !!!

im wondering if its too late

but they have an extra wk

and idk what the ar is but it seems p small

[limpid plover]

ar is like 5% if you mean acceptance rate

rough estimate is 1 in 20

so

[brazen oyster]

WHAA

for hsf?

[gilded river]

!williams

[limpid plover]

oh for williams

idk about hsf sorry

[dim vapor]

Do we have a time out

For Williams RD

I know it's 22nd

[dim vapor]

But will they email us?

[limpid plover]

i think so? currently watching old reaction videos on yt and one of them mentioned getting an email from williams

[restive moon]

I'd guess around 7pm right?

[hearty shoal]

my counselor told me that it’ll be in the evening

Williams stated it in the email for them

They received a total of 15,411 applications and admitted 1,161; the target for incoming class is 560.

[fresh dust]

what about internationals ?

[hearty shoal]

Fifteen percent of RD applicants will be waitlisted and we anticipate roughly one-third to add their name to the active waiting list.

[fresh dust]

that is huge

[limpid plover]

dyk if just rd or ed+rd?

[hearty shoal]

ig ed+rd

most likely

[limpid plover]

ah thanks

damn they already have all the decisions???

[fresh dust]

they have

they are just making us wait

[hearty shoal]

I hope to be waitlisted 🙏🏻🙏🏻😞

[tranquil dagger]

ugh

[fresh dust]

i hope to be rejected

[limpid plover]

DAMN

[hearty shoal]

us, international students, have it very rough

[limpid plover]

thank you for all this info

[fresh dust]

it is hard

any information from colby?

when are they releasing

or amherst

[hearty shoal]

I didn’t even get css fee waiver from colby 💀

[fresh dust]

is that a good sign?

or does it mean something

[misty tree]

i’m cooked 🔥🔥🔥.

[frail pike]

why they gotta make us wait if they’re done this is pure evil 💀

[main charm]

this school is my last hope after bowdoin

[rose tundra]

bro just said the same thing about amherst

[main charm]

and bowdoin

get gud or get lost bro

[rose tundra]

what have you got so far?

[main charm]

acceptances?

[rose tundra]

yeah

[main charm]

oh since i applied to 31 schools i got like

so many

about a dozen yeah

[rose tundra]

Ohh you're an intl like me

makes sense

[main charm]

ye

p

[rose tundra]

EFC?

[main charm]

like 3k lol

dirt poor

our yearly income is like 12k usd

[rose tundra]

Then how did you get dozens of acceptances

[misty tree]

same ngl 😭.

[rose tundra]

Did they give finaid?

[main charm]

not all schools i applied to are need aware

[main charm]

yes i got like 300k in scholarships as of right now

no no thats a stretch

[rose tundra]

What colleges and what's the COA

[main charm]

i mean 200k

[rose tundra]

I've never heard of this

[main charm]

a bunch?

georgia state arizona state michigan state basically all the states i applied to except penn lol

[rose tundra]

200k over how many colleges though

because like

[main charm]

and a bunch out of the us

[rose tundra]

that isn't much if it's spread out over like 12

[main charm]

georgia state is most

arizona is 60k

[rose tundra]

That'd still be a really high COA

[main charm]

and michigan is 20k

[rose tundra]

So what's your lowest COA

[main charm]

7k per year

in the US that is

[rose tundra]

oh cool

[main charm]

i got a 5k per year school in belgium

[rose tundra]

What were you stats? That's really good for such a low EFC

[main charm]

but i dont wanna go to belgium cus its near france and france is gay

[main charm]

1520 sat did full ib diploma 2 aps freelance work owned my own shit mun captain etc u know the usual

[rose tundra]

[restive moon]

[misty tree]

good luck tomorrow yall!

[limpid plover]

you too!!

we’re gonna be future ephs

[frail pike]

YES GO US!

[deep cobalt]

pls williams

[queen condor]

pls williams

[limpid plover]

and if we don’t, we go to amherst instead, just like president moore /j

[deep cobalt]

and then paint an amherst logo on their field

just like how they did a couple yrs back

[misty tree]

thank you!

if we don’t get in it’s cool too. what’s meant to be will be. rejection is redirection!

[frail pike]

couldn’t be said better

[deep cobalt]

type shi

[pale temple]

please williams i’ve been waitlisted from every school i want to go to

i love williams so much bro

[pale temple]

i’m regretting not applying to amherst ngl

[limpid plover]

felt that but swarthmore

they seem so cool and nerdy like

it comes through even in the promotional emails

[pale temple]

swarthmore is so cool

[limpid plover]

[pale temple]

i wish id applied there instead of bumass pomona

they rejected me

[limpid plover]

shdhdhfj im sorry

🫂🫂

[pale temple]

good luck tomorrow!!

i’m hoping my humor really shined through in my optional essay

[limpid plover]

you too!!

i hope my arts supplement clutches

[misty tree]

me knowing i’m getting rejected because i did test optional and didn’t go to wow 😜😍.

[deep cobalt]

literally

same

F pomona

shouldve applied swarthm,oreeeee

amherst campus and dining hall is not my favorite so i didnt apply

[boreal patio]

I knew my chances of Pomona were basically zero since I haven’t seen a single person get in from the hundred of reaction videos I’ve watched

[deep cobalt]

LOL yeah

55 ppl aPPLIED in our chool

1 got in

not me

frick wash u too

[pale temple]

how many accepted people go to wow

[pale temple]

nah i saw one girl

her video was so artsy that i’m like regularly subscribed to her now

[misty tree]

ngl i don’t even know but if i went i would be more likely to get in.

[boreal patio]

I hope schools don’t compare my application to past people from my school they accepted, because someone from my school got in to Williams last year through questbridge and I’m probably no where near as good of an applicant as them

[deep cobalt]

what is wow

oh nvm

its like fly in

[boreal patio]

Yeah

If you got into their fly in there’s like a 90% chance you get into Williams

[deep cobalt]

i didnt even apply oopsies

[misty tree]

yea 😭.

[deep cobalt]

i just did a tour

[misty tree]

i’m cooked 😜🔥.

[boreal patio]

Did you get accepted into it?

[pale temple]

i don’t think they track demonstrated interest though

[deep cobalt]

wtv not expecting

wait hw many people go to WOW

[misty tree]

i never applied i was procrastinating on doing it. regret it.

[boreal patio]

The only reason I applied here at first was because they requested me on college vine but after doing research I really like the school

[boreal patio]

I think it’s like 100-200

[deep cobalt]

yeh i applied cuz i was around the area for summer and decided to visit

[boreal patio]

I did it the day it was due, which was not a smart choice!

[deep cobalt]

it was the nicest campus out of hte ivies and other schools i visited

[misty tree]

did you get accepted???

[boreal patio]

No lol

[pale temple]

oh shit that’s like a fifth of the class

wtf

[deep cobalt]

uh oh

we're cooked

[boreal patio]

Yeah, but a portion of those kids also end up never applying because they end up not liking the school, reduce their chances because they don’t attend for numerous reasons, or never get their application read by getting into other schools ED

[deep cobalt]

hopefully williams likes high sat trauma dump

[misty tree]

real 💯

[deep cobalt]

and some mid LORs lol

[pale temple]

no wait it’s ok

williams has ehh yield

[deep cobalt]

yehah 60 percent

1100 admitted

[boreal patio]

Like this year I think it was on the same day as the fly in for one of the other top LACS, either swarthmore or Amherst, so people definitely might have chose those to attend theirs over it

[pale temple]

they accepted like 850 people rd last year

[deep cobalt]

yeah

[pale temple]

ok we might not be as cooked

[deep cobalt]

but stilmcooked

rd is like 6-7 percent

ed is 23

[limpid plover]

if i get in i will be very happy

[pale temple]

me too

[deep cobalt]

yes me too.

[pale temple]

but if not

it’s ok

[deep cobalt]

yes

we will thrive anywhere we go

[pale temple]

i am happy with where i have gotten in already.

[deep cobalt]

positive mindset

[boreal patio]

I have 6 reach schools tomorrow, if I get accepted into at least one I’ll be so happy

[limpid plover]

if not, i will channel my sadness into the completion of my ap art portfolio

[pale temple]

go davis cows

[deep cobalt]

i got 3 😦

tyo open\

tmr

[pale temple]

cow schools 🔛🔝

[misty tree]

they received a total of 15,411 applications and admitted 1,161; the target for their incoming class is 560. the enrollment fee deadline is may 15th.

[limpid plover]

same! williams, amherst, smith

[deep cobalt]

im ok with my results, withdrawing ucla tho

i got colgate, williams, and porbably colby

tmr

[pale temple]

wait really

[deep cobalt]

yeah

[pale temple]

[deep cobalt]

ucla horrid for premed

[boreal patio]

I have Williams, Amherst, Colgate, bowdoin, swarthmore, and tufts

[pale temple]

oh

[deep cobalt]

middlebury or grinnell

[boreal patio]

Possible Colby but I’m a bit skeptical

[pale temple]

grinnell rejected me

but i didn’t do their supplement

[limpid plover]

good luck everyone for lac day!

[deep cobalt]

yeha they care about that interest stuff

[pale temple]

i thought they didn’t have one and it jumpscared me

[deep cobalt]

i did it 3 days late lol

[limpid plover]

may my arts supplements come in clutch because i did all the writing stuff literally the day before due (except for williams)

[deep cobalt]

my friend did it 2 weeks late and we both got 144k in scholarship

[pale temple]

[deep cobalt]

they were very flexible

[pale temple]

that’s so much wtf

[sturdy rivet]

W I have Williams, Amherst, tufts, and usc

[pale temple]

good luck!!

[sturdy rivet]

But like idc about Williams or Amherst y’all deserve it more

[deep cobalt]

yeah grinnell known for giving the most merit

[pale temple]

would you pick any over ucla

[sturdy rivet]

Ty!! Manifesting tufts and usc

[deep cobalt]

yeah grinnell and middlebury

[pale temple]

rubster

[deep cobalt]

if i get in any of thefuture schools prob colgate, colby (esp with pulvers),

and williams tho im prob dreaming

the only school i would have to consider is columbia

[boreal patio]

Have you gotten into any LACs yet or are those the only ones you applied to?

[pale temple]

@sturdy rivet

[sturdy rivet]

Just Penn atm

[sturdy rivet]

Yes! Got into Wellesley

[sturdy rivet]

I love tufts though and usc I want to reject them

[boreal patio]

That’s awesome, congrats!

[sturdy rivet]

Ty! Wbu?

[misty tree]

why usc 😭😭😭. i might be going there.

[sturdy rivet]

They had the audacity to defer me ea 🙄 plus I’m practicing for when I’m officially a Bruin

[sturdy rivet]

Wonderful school though!! Just too expensive to rm anyways

[deep cobalt]

they deferred so many this yr

[sturdy rivet]

Yup

[misty tree]

hopefully you get in tomorrow!!!! i thought i was going to get deferred but got in.

[sturdy rivet]

Congrats!! Well deserved I’m sure! I don’t think I’ll get in but that’s ok

[misty tree]

true, but if yours parents make under 80k you get free tuition.

[boreal patio]

I’ve been waitlisted at both grinnell and Wesleyan, and rejected by pomona, but I got into Reed which is technically an LAC too so I’ll count that as one!

[misty tree]

thank you and good luck to you tomorrow!!!

[boreal patio]

Reed is a good school but not as good as the ones coming out tomorrow

[pale temple]

i’m manifesting the williams so hard

pls god

[deep cobalt]

anyone apply oberlin lol

[sturdy rivet]

They don’t we’re middle class so finaid is a bit of a hit or miss

[limpid plover]

williams please you have superior ice cream

[sturdy rivet]

Plus still 30k even if you get free tuition

[pale temple]

wait really

[sturdy rivet]

Congrats!! The rest of those you applied to will take you

[pale temple]

both the schools i sent my gay essay to have great ice cream i guess

[limpid plover]

theres an ice cream place in williamstown that has like an ephs-inspired flavor

some kind of purple berry + white and dark choc chunks (cow spots)

[sturdy rivet]

UCLA’s ice cream machine >>>

[pale temple]

that sounds so good

[misty tree]

true 😭😭😭. i’m cooked but since i got a opportunity like that i gotta take it.

[deep cobalt]

and the indian restaurant was good there too

[pale temple]

i’m manifesting we’re gonna try it next year

[limpid plover]

yes!! i really wanna go back for it

[limpid plover]

correlation or causation

[sturdy rivet]

That’s valid! UCLA is significantly cheaper for me and I don’t want to take out a bunch of loans

[boreal patio]

I hope so 🙏

[pale temple]

weirdly i feel like williams and princeton are similar

so maybe causation

[limpid plover]

wait where is the princeton ice cream

[pale temple]

bent spoon!!

i love bent spoon

[misty tree]

bruh you got into ucla congratulations!!!!!! not we might go to rival schools 😂.

[pale temple]

one of my earliest memories

[limpid plover]

omg i missed out

[pale temple]

i was born there and every time i go back i get ice cream

[low axle]

Is Reed coming out tmr?

[limpid plover]

got kilwins at northwestern and they have one at umich, which was all pretty good

cornell dairy bar is top tier

[boreal patio]

I’m not sure for regular decision, I applied early action and got accepted in december

[low axle]

Ahhh I see

[limpid plover]

weirdly i dont remember getting ice cream at cmu even though i was there for 6 weeks?

[boreal patio]

Good luck to you tho!

[low axle]

Thank you!!!

[limpid plover]

they gave us italian ice tho so thats nice

[limpid plover]

40 colleges??

[low axle]

Yeah, i applied to qb and for rd like 10 competitive schools had no supplements

But 30 is still a lot…I applied in fear I wouldn’t get in

[limpid plover]

ohhh

nah i feel that

i got deferred ED and got an early rejection from ucla (music school) so i got scared as well

[low axle]

Dangggg

Did u apply to Hilliard

Julliard ***

[limpid plover]

nope

[sturdy rivet]

ty!!!

[sturdy rivet]

F USC!

[crisp stirrup]

good luck everyone

[autumn plume]

what's that?

ohh. i'm an international student

so probably not

[crisp stirrup]

Yeah this won’t work for intl

[autumn plume]

what if they are sending a rejection package?

[deep cobalt]

wait

so they send things to accepted students?

on the decision date?

[crisp stirrup]

Yes

[stoic vine]

No portal astrology

[crisp stirrup]

lmao it is verified tho

but alr

no portal astrology

[solid basalt]

!williams

wait what time does it come out?

[pale temple]

7 pm iirc?

or 6 maybe

[narrow yew]

You guys are asking for Williams/Amherst/Bowdoin...
And here I'm...I just want one good acceptance...stopped caring about where it might come from after going on rejection streak 😶 AKA life of a dirt poor intl student.

Rn having a dream university feels like a myth.

[fresh dust]

where are you from?

[narrow yew]

Good old asian country

[fresh dust]

nobody owes you anything

[fresh dust]

which one?

[narrow yew]

True

[fresh dust]

good old? mongolia?

[wintry dust]

did williams announce their time? i didnt get any email so im kinda worried

[narrow yew]

I think they emailed counselors if I remember it correctly??

[limpid plover]

i dont think anyone got an email, nor did anyone get a confirmed time; maybe counselors were told but idk. in any case it’s speculated to be around 5/6/7pm?

[limpid plover]

i’m sorry youre going through that. might it help you to know that amherst is need-blind for all (domestic and intl) applicants?

and williams isn’t need-blind for intls but they are known for really good financial aid

[deft nymph]

what is the release time in terms of est

[fresh dust]

7 probs

[crisp stirrup]

6pm est

[pale temple]

thank you ben

[fresh dust]

ben ten

[lone solar]

is 6 confirmed

[hoary citrus]

I know its today but did anyone receive an email for decision release date? i received it for all colleges except williams

[gritty charm]

didnt get an email

this is the only proof

[hoary citrus]

nvm im finished

I didn't submit the income statement for the calendar year

[orchid perch]

guys i’m so scared

[misty tree]

same 😭.

[raw spruce]

Meeeeeeeeeee too

[hasty swallow]

We got this

[low axle]

Is Williams your guys dream school?

[deep cobalt]

this da dream school

yeah

brown was my OG but they didnt want me 😦

[low axle]

I have a question, if im majoring in economics and interested in research law, hopefully going to law school afterwards. Is university or liberal arts better?

[deep cobalt]

liberal arts

[low axle]

Oh same!

[boreal patio]

Definitely liberal arts

[low axle]

Can you give a reason

[deep cobalt]

grad school placements of LACs

[hasty swallow]

I got defer from brown too LOL

[deep cobalt]

are superiro

[low axle]

Idk anything about lac

[deep cobalt]

got rjeected lol

lacs have smaller classes

easier bonds witb profs

easier research opps

[low axle]

ohhhh okkkk do lac do grade inflation? I’m worried about my gpa in college

[deep cobalt]

better lacs

lacs are rigorous jn coursework but theres some geade inflations

[low axle]

Ahhh ok

If I go to uni, would that be harder to go to grad/law

I am first gen low income

[deep cobalt]

id say choose te cueaper

one

but i think depends on uni

some unis have smaller classes

which can be good

[fresh dust]

bro you already have ucla

[low axle]

ohhhh

[fresh dust]

ucla

[deep cobalt]

im not goin

[low axle]

I seee okay!!

[deep cobalt]

ucla too big

shit for premed

[fresh dust]

yeah

my uncle is also too big according to my aunt

[deep cobalt]

oh

[fresh dust]

he is 6'6

and is obese

bro is a giant

[low axle]

Ucla dining hall is so yum

[fresh dust]

yum

[low axle]

Reasons to apply

[deep cobalt]

2 hr waits for foood tho 😭

williams dining hall was nice af

and libeary was cool too

[solid basalt]

do we know what time williams is going to be released

!williams

!williamscollege

[deep cobalt]

3

pst

but could change we never know

[solid basalt]

okok tyy

is 3 confirmed tho

[tranquil thicket]

thats way too late

[limpid plover]

i think it’s based on past years

[frail pike]

past years came out at 6pm est?

[autumn plume]

or based on amherst's time?

[limpid plover]

amherst is 6:21

williams has, according to this thread, released in the late evening, kinda close to amherst time

[white tinsel]

They haven't send an email yet

Is it confirmed that it will be released today?

[limpid plover]

yes

on their admission and aid website it says

[crisp stirrup]

last year it was 6pm est

[misty tree]

yes, it’s posted on website. they also emailed counselors about decisions being released today.

[white tinsel]

we are gonna make it (delulu)

[limpid plover]

delulu is the solulu 🗣️

[frail vapor]

bro mine was an econ paper about the book "freakonomics"😭

i just didn't know what to submit and ngl i really don't care if i get in here

[sturdy rivet]

I'm sorry

amherst is just prettier

[fresh dust]

@quasi badger is williams good for finance

@pastel dagger

[quasi badger]

hawk can answer better

[crystal zodiac]

true this

but i will accept either one

[pastel dagger]

best LAC

its known as west point of wall street

id say its decent

same for amherst

same footing as boston college

[fresh dust]

what about columbia

[pastel dagger]

yeah it cleasr all

any ivy is good for finance

its a "target"

@rigid sapphire last day to find out the williams dream

[pastel dagger]

btw columbia has the best location and overall prestige for any school in the country

[fresh dust]

for finance?

[pastel dagger]

ye

[fresh dust]

better than ross?

[pastel dagger]

yes lol

ross location is ass

almost all the ivies>ross except for maybe brown

[rigid sapphire]

real

[fresh dust]

what about cmu

[rigid sapphire]

statistically much better

[solid basalt]

best lacs for social sciences?

[rigid sapphire]

ross is mid once you account for size

[rigid sapphire]

depends which one

[solid basalt]

like social sciences in general

[pastel dagger]

cmu is soo mid

ross clears

[pastel dagger]

per capita yes

in terms of sheer volume tho ross>

[fresh dust]

my friend got into ross tepper and bc

[pastel dagger]

still good tho

[fresh dust]

he wants to go to cornell though

[pastel dagger]

id go ross, bc, tepper

ya i would too

ivy first

ivy, duke, stern, uchic, gtown, ross are the top ones

id go to

[thick pumice]

hang on finance conversation but it's just the yappers

[rigid sapphire]

stern is mid ngl. id take williams over it

[thick pumice]

let me fact check

https://tenor.com/view/yapping-yapping-level-today-catastrophic-yapanese-gif-13513208407930173397

[pastel dagger]

bro is ngmi out of london

[boreal patio]

if i had to guess probably amherst or williams

[thick pumice]

daily me shaking my fist at people thinking theyre the same thing

[thick pumice]

williams moggs so hard

every year since 1980 except for 1

[fresh dust]

yeah im not sure why i applied

it was free i think maybe thats why

[thick pumice]

light app tbh

[pastel dagger]

only need a paper

no supps

[fresh dust]

honestly out of my current choices ig it would be my top choice

but ask me again next week and that answer might change

[thick pumice]

[fresh dust]

usc uw pretty much

[thick pumice]

usc is p good

congrats

[fresh dust]

wbu

[pastel dagger]

[fresh dust]

[solid basalt]

what abt pomona?

[hardy crest]

when decision time

[boreal patio]

they're great as well

[hardy crest]

!williams

[solid basalt]

3 Pm PST apparently

but it’s not confirmed

[hardy crest]

damn so 1 hr let's see

[solid basalt]

yaa

we got thiss

[hardy crest]

this my dream school frfr

[pastel dagger]

interchangeable

[frail vapor]

just got wl at lehigh so im expecting a rejection here LMFAO

[pastel dagger]

pomona swarthmore amherst williams

[frail vapor]

but this was a for the plot application so idgaf

[pale temple]

math, physics, poli sci, econ, stats

[south musk]

pomona vs williams which one is better tho

[hardy crest]

rejected pomona I got no chance

[south musk]

i got in pomona

but also applied williams

[hardy crest]

I think pomona

[pale temple]

not worth for anything in engineering

[pastel dagger]

williams

[hardy crest]

congratsss

[pale temple]

pomona’s better for west coast stuff

[south musk]

thank youu and best of luck pretty sure you'll also get great offers

[pale temple]

claremonts are connected to caltech

they do joint recruiting shit

[boreal patio]

Tbh between Amherst, Williams, swarthmore, and Pomona there isn’t a definite answer and who’s better

[pale temple]

but williams is across the board amazing

[thick pumice]

it's williams

that is the answer

[south musk]

ya and some lac s like pomona have joint engineering degress with caltech and dartmouth

[boreal patio]

Each school has some things that are better than the others but depending on the person the answer will be different

[pale temple]

it’s an lac they don’t do engineering

[pastel dagger]

@pale temple ?

[blazing rock]

do they admit by major

[pale temple]

pomona doesn’t do engineering either

they do 3-2s

which you have to apply for

you take an engineering adjacent major and then apply to transfer after junior year for a second bachelors at caltech or washu

so like physics or math

or if you’re crazy you could do bio

[fresh dust]

ik

[pale temple]

hmc and swarthmore are iirc the only schools that do engineering in the lacs

hmc does a general engineering major

which is pretty good

[normal crow]

Did it come out yet

[pale temple]

idk about swarthmkre

that might be me lying

no yeah

they also do a general engineering major

you probably will have to get a grad degree though

but you’ll be prepared very well

maybe you could aim for engineering management

[deep cobalt]

brorooo

this wait is killing me

[solid basalt]

ikrr

[boreal patio]

idk how i will survive another hour and half to wait for colgate

[deep cobalt]
