Williams is a reach for anyone.

lylukas97

I know that but do you think I have a good chance

Catria

You might have a chance.

Ephman

If you apply E.D., you will almost surely be admitted. Even R.D., I put your chances at 75 percent or greater. Williams is NOT a reach for you given your profile.

Catria

If I go with that information given then I could say low match in ED, high match in RD.

Ephman

Catria, you are incorrect. Very, very, very few (if any) students with this type of profile -- 1470 SAT, African American, strong academic record at a top high school, athlete, child of immigrants, CTY, strong community service record -- will ever be denied acceptance at Williams, Amherst, Pomona, etc. This applicant is the dream candidate for any admissions officer. I'd say nearly a lock for admission, but anything is possible, so I estimated conservatively.
