I would retake your standardized tests to boost your scores. They are on the lower side for Williams in my humble and limited opinion...

These chance threads really won't do much for you, and you'll fully realize this after the college application process is complete. Highly selective schools are building a class. If you have the stats and grades, it is about what you as an individual can bring to the campus and to the group of students in the entering class.

I think that your having a disability works in your advantage. It is important to let Williams know that you, in spite of your disability, have been able to succeed.

good luck!!!!

I think you look good, too. Not from the NE, I think your ACT is good, unless you didn't do well on the writing, and your improved grades will be important. I also think your community service/giving back looks great. Good luck!
