For people who applied/are applying Early Decision, it doesn't matter if you haven't heard the news yet. I just wanted to know what they like in Williams and other schools they are looking at. Please don't put up GPAs, SATs, etc. I'm sure we all got 2000+ whatever on the SAT and have at least an 'A' average in school.

For me, it was the first school I visited that I could really see myself at, and all the other schools I visited after Williams was always a comparison to Williams. Other than that, great size, I've visited 3 times from roughly 500 miles away, and there were always new things to see, do, etc. I also have a love of learning and passion for athletics, something that reflects life at Williams. And the Paresky Center had amazing food. Amherst is just an anagram of 'hamster'.

Top 5:
1. Williams
2. Harvey Mudd
3. Davidson
4. Brown
5. Bowdoin

why arent there any replies here while the Amherst ED thread is 7 pages long?

speaking of amherst, does anyone know which school students most often choose if they are accepted to both. I've heard it's amherst by a large margin, but I'm not sure.

It shouldn't surprise you that it is exactly a 50/50 split.

"Amherst and Williams are different sides of the same coin" I remember someone saying on CC. Maybe it was Gadad? All these supposed rivalries are just for fun. "It's fun to hate," I once heard a friend say. Sometimes people really believe it or get carried away, though.
