Williams Regular Decision 2011!!! - Page 5

MikeyD223 - Thanks for clarifying re: MomMary- "Local students" are students from Berkshire county.

Also, re: JustanotherCCer- Getting a letter from the Williams financial aid office telling you that your application is incomplete is definitely a good thing. They wouldn't bother letting you know if they weren't planning on accepting you.
- What if they contacted you about missing supplement, never rec'd (but sent, and so re-sent via fax)? This was in Feb....wonder if that's "meaningful"...?

I just called Williams and they told me that they had not sent out anything, which is completely weird. The lady told me that the letters would be sent "by April 1" (?). I asked her whether Williams would FedEx the decisions or send them by normal mail, and she said the latter. However, it can take up to about four weeks for a "normal mail" to get to Switzerland. This seems to make little sense. Can anyone enlighten me?

if youre in switzerland youre going to get an email too.

Oh, I see! Thanks so much.

does Williams send out acceptance packages to internationals through snail mail?

bump........

Ok, I got an email from admissions and this is the way it works for internationals: Williams will send an email and package by April 1st IF YOU ARE ACCEPTED. If you aren't, they will ONLY send a letter on april 1st. No email. You are free to call and get your decision by phone after April 4th.

Hey, I haven't got any letter from Williams yet, but looking forward to it.

Got into Carnegie Mellon, Lehigh, and Fordham today, though, which made my day. Has anyone else heard from any other colleges?

hey fusiondogg, congrats!

umm i was deferred from yale in the fall and recently got into suny binghamton and muhlenburg...

then today i was waitlisted at haverford. it freaked me out a little not because i care all that much about haverford, but instead because it seemed to me that it might not bode well for williams and some of the other colleges i'm applying to...

anyways, i, too, am also anxiously awaiting my letter from williams.....gjskfljdskfs.

I got into Bryn Mawr and Wellesley, but Wellesley's financial aid award was minimal ($3,000 in grants compared to $21,000 from Bryn Mawr), so it's not really an option.

Ernie H., did you actually e-mail admissions at W for this info.? thanks!

TheOneCurlyFry · 03-27-2007, 08:10 AM

Yeah, how do you know the procedure for internationals?

Yes, I did.

hmm, last year everyone had gotten decisions by now.

swiss_mj · 03-27-2007, 12:29 PM

Ugh, I have not...

aabar · 03-27-2007, 01:01 PM

I don't know why everyone is freaking out...Williams' notification date isn't until Apr. 1. Yes, admissions has already sent out a few acceptances, but many more will arrive on Apr. 1.

ammarsfound · 03-27-2007, 01:08 PM

it's actually march the 30th, according to their site.
