To those who have already been accepted to Williams College, Swarthmore, or Amherst

If you have been accepted recently, can you provide a brief overview of your high school experience? With emphasis on these points?:

- SAT scores
- High School rank, GPA (doesn't have to be exact obviously), courses
- Clubs done within school
- Extracurriculars

*Really- overall what kind of student were you? Did you stand out?

- What you thought about your essay
- What you thought your chances of getting in were
- What other colleges you applied to
- If you chose Williams, what made you do so?

Blah blah blah the usual. (This is obviously coming from a paranoid freak who needs to calm down about the future, so feel free to say anything, even if it's not on the list, just to calm my nerves. For some reason, I can't get over these three schools, and I feel like my life depends on them.)

What do you mean about "recently"?

I think he means Class of 2013 or 2012

wrooney - You should search for the decisions threads in which students post that sort of information. It will help you get some sense of who gets in, who doesn't, etc.

Here's one such thread to start you off:
Willaims Regular Decision 2013!

Here's a link to the profile of the class of 2012, which should give you some idea of the stats for enrolled students.
