For anyone still doing the final stretch for ED2/RD Bowdoin applications, please DM me if you need any assistance!!!

#

is the williams supplement supposed to align with our spike/intended major? @vast gyro

#

or can it just be an analysis of a poem

#

even if im like a politics major

cunning sable
#

it can be anything

cunning sable
#

so the answer to "does this have to be related to my major" will generally be no

glossy silo
#

but its also 10 pages so...

#

but i have a great poetry paper im doing instead that is 4 pages

cunning sable
#

that's great

#

yeah i really don't think the topic matters as much as the quality of the writing

#

and your thought process

glossy silo
#

@cunning sable do you know why when im reviewng my williams app before im about to submit they say "Williams College has chosen not to include certain My Common Application responses in the PDF they receive for your application. As a result, the following questions and answers will not be on your PDF:

ACT / SAT Tests"

#

I indicated I wanted them to consider those in the application?

#

so I just wanna make sure they receive them

cunning sable
#

i believe some schools suppress the test scores in the pdf but they're still seen

glossy silo
cunning sable
#

yeah pretty sure

@sinful totem heyyy.....

#

do u think i should submit a 30 act to vassar, if im planning on majoring in sociology / got a 36 reading & 28 english?

vivid prairie
sinful totem
#

i submitted my 32 but like i also had my hs for act as like a 26

main kite
#

fuck i jus submitted like 2 seconds ago 😭

#

my school doesnt really do the act

sinful totem
#

it’s probably fine

main kite
#

a 30 is like a ~1360-1380 and my schools average is 1060

sinful totem
#

i’m a math major and i had a 28 on math and a 36 on reading

main kite
#

oh deadass

sinful totem
#

yea vassar doesn’t admit by major anyway

#

everyone’s admitted undecided

sharp copper
#

It doesn’t disadvantage you to not accept a fee waiver.

#

For the most part, colleges gives a fee waiver to first gen and/or low income applicants..

#

And honestly I’d accept whatever fee waivers come my way even if I had to fully pay for a college. Maybe I’m not going to Williams but I do know quite a few people who go… just take it man.

Bro is just rich

sharp copper
#

Fr think of it as the college just giving you a shot to pay less.

vivid prairie

just take it lol

3 days left for most LAC ED2/RD deadlines!!! Good luck guys!

steel tree
#

Fee waivers do not disadvantage you.

#

They advantage you by saving you money.

#

Does anyone have more information about the optional supplement upload for Harvey Mudd? It says you can submit "math and science endeavors, research abstracts, or creative projects." Does that include art and/ or short stories?

#

I'm not finding info on their website but maybe I'm search bar challenged

rapid creek
#

even tho its a STEM focused school im sure theyd value an applicant having passion projects outside of that discipline, theyd wanna know youre human

#

but you can also email your AO/the admissions office, they should be able to tell you

#

erm is anyone else getting this for swarth through coalition?

#

have never experienced this

#

i changed devices, but same network

i think this happened to me once? i forget the details but ive def have had portals fail to sync with coalition. email Swats admissions with identifying info like your name, DOB, and email used for coalition and they should hopefully be able to help

i think they would be more popular if they weren’t in ohio cursedmoon

carleton and grinnell are also underrated but everyone seems to hate the midwest

steep ivy

i was joking, i actually don’t know much about ohio lol

#

a lot of lacs in general are pretty underrated ngl

languid coral
#

i didn’t know about lacs until super late in my application cycle

vast gyro
#

they just look at the university rankings

languid coral
#

it’s okay more for the lac enjoyers

steep ivy
#

yes smile

quasi echo
#

is it recommended to submit a research paper for williams?

and has anyone here at williams taken any tutorials?

Think of it as an invite to apply for like a program rather than

should this be tied back to Amherst in any way or is it just a diversity statrment in general?

In what ways could your unique experiences enhance our understanding of our nation and our world?

i didnt get my swarthmore portal yet
should i send an email to them?

rapid creek
glass hornet
#

the email they sent said it takes like 24–48 hours to receive one, so im starting to get a bit worried

rapid creek
#

has it been 48 hrs?

glass hornet
#

almost?

#

just to make sure i understood this email correctly
does it mean i have until jan 12, not jan 8, if i apply ED2

glass hornet
rapid creek
#

but yes that appears to be what theyre saying

#

but remember ED is binding, dont apply EDII unless you actually have decided that is your school of choice if admitted

rapid creek
#

also i think commonapp is infamously slow and inconsistent with portals being sent so id even give it a bit more leeway like maybe another 12 hrs before emailing anyone

glass hornet

ok thx :)

rapid creek
# formal patrol looked it up and theyre best suited for ppl going into academia and premeds?

SLACs are great for grad school goals yeah. Because grad school admissions want letters of recommendation and projects youve done in undergrad, which are easier to achieve if you have closer connections with your faculty. Closer connections also mean more guidance for grad school admission tests such as the MCAT and LSAT.

But small school environments are an advantage to a lot of academics in general, not just grad school ambitions. Many LACs specialize in academic subjects that dont necessarily feed into grad programs, like Harvey Mudd and engineering, or Williams and Amherst and finance

The well-rounded education you receive at an LAC is beneficial for most any career path, really

This question wasn't on the form last year

But I would capitalise on the chance to show more about yourself

Oh never mind

I thought you were looking at a different supplement

#

There’s like one earlier about like an optional additional info section I left blank

But I would recommend doing the one you shared because it’s more so just trying to gauge academic interest

Albeit it only allows for 275 characters

has anyone else received an email from the Williams college operational manager, asking for an academic paper?

#

I chose not to submit one and I was emailed by a lady who works in the admissions office & she asked if I can submit a humanities paper

steel tree
#

The paper is supposed to be optional.

languid coral
#

to me it seems like it means they’re on the fence regarding your application (meaning they’re taking you seriously!) so i would probably submit something

Oops wrong reply, I meant to reply to dean

#

I doubt everyone will be asked for an academic paper, I asked other applicants from my school who have not submitted an academic paper & they haven’t received any emails from Williams

#
  • they may have asked me for a paper because my counselor told me that he mentioned how I was an ESL student in his rec. and since Williams is an LAC, they wanna know if I can at least handle humanities courses as I’d assume they r heavy on writing
languid coral
#

^^ yes, also this is the first time i’m hearing about this, it could be that it happened last year and i just didn’t hear about it. i also didn’t submit the optional paper so i got in without submitting any papers or them asking me for anything at all

#

so if you didn’t get any emails i promise you are not cooked 🙏

bro wtf do i write for colgate's," The person I admire most is… "
like i dont wanna write someone i dont really know personally and risk it looking like i have a shallow idea of what to admire but also i dont wanna write any answers that lots of people wouldve written? like ykwim.
im genuinely baffled about what to write. these 13 words have taken be a month. should i lowk just put my mom and move on in life or what should i be looking at while writing it? or how niche can i go without sound like a pretentious douche tryna show off

#

who do you genuinely admire the most

alpine anvil
#

i didn’t even go cause of wcfm LOL it was cause we had mid-semester check ins with our JAs and my JA decided to take me there instead of us just going to a dining hall and talking over a meal so it was super cool

it is also in the basement of one of the first-year dorms so if you get placed into prospect it’ll be super convenient for you 🙊

Btw this lady doesn’t most of the time know what she is talking about so you might as well send another email

# odd tangle

well yes they don’t usually have the director of admissions responding to emails lol

main kite
odd tangle
#

But who tf would respond to a change in coursework like that?

cunning sable
#

when you contact a college you’re almost always going to be talking to some sort of assistant to start with unless you email a specific individual directly

cunning sable
#

it seems like she didn’t understand what you were asking about

odd tangle
#

I was very clear about tsmeltingsob

cunning sable
#

or she’s been trained to respond a certain way to certain types of messages and she misinterpreted what you were saying

odd tangle
#

And all other uni said ok

cunning sable
#

you can just respond and clarify that there will be no impact and you’re just asking to add a course you’ve already taken to your application

#

or whatever it is you’re saying

odd tangle

Dear Grinnell College Admissions Office,

I hope you are doing well. I’m writing to provide a brief update to my application regarding my coursework.

In my application, I noted that I had applied for a university-level Real Analysis program. I’m happy to share that my enrollment has now been confirmed, and I will be taking Real Analysis through Stanford Pre-Collegiate Studies’ University-Level Online (SPCS ULO) starting in the second semester.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Please let me know if there is anything else I should provide.

#

This is wt I sent them

#

Now I’m so confused

#

Wt is she trying to say

#

Like how would this course help me to prepare for grinnell?

cunning sable
#

it seems like she thought that the course might continue into the summer or the next school year

#

or that you were writing to tell them about some issue

#

she’s not asking you to justify the class

cunning sable
#

all you have to say

Hello, I have a w&l interview tomorrow, I was wondering if there are any tips from anyone who had experience in general?

foggy cape
#

w&l*

#

but just be yourself

#

interviewers can usually tell when you’re forcing a response/being insincere

#

also ask questions about their experience, they’d only interview if they loved the school

fast pond
#

Cus im assuming they’ll probably ask that

odd tangle
#

They will

#

Y wouldn’t they

#

So do some research

#

(Use perplexity or grok)

#

And watch some vids

fast pond
foggy cape
#

look up day in the life of washington and lee student

#

or smth

#

those videos helped me

fast pond
#

Unfortunately 😔

foggy cape
#

there’s def some on youtube and other platforms dw

solemn hill
odd tangle
#

tbh, id rather ask them about alumni network

#

ts can be highly biased ig

#

and honor system too

#

u never know until u get there

#

so u cant rly say its rly amazing before experiencing

#

id recommend u to mention academic strength (def do mention benefits of LACs), programs, courses, profs... etc

#

and when they ask u "do you have any question?"

#

please please please do ask question

#

a meaningful question

#

dont ask "whats the faculty:student"

#

u can ask alumni network, honor codes, unique campus culture... etc (but I think its best to say "I've heard that ___ is ____. What was ur experience about __")

#

This way, ig they can tell that ur rly interested in this institution
