Given your options, I would choose Williams. Or, of course, you could go to one of the other schools and give those of us on the waitlist a better chance of getting in :). It certainly has a good history program and I hear there is more of a cohesive feel to the school than at Amherst.

Other than that, I think Amherst’s lack of core requirements would allow you to avoid math/science far more easily than at Williams. I don’t know much about Wellesley, so I can’t say much about that. I know it is an excellent school, but I know the lack of guys would bother me (not just for dating reasons, I also think “gender diversity” or whatever you would call it adds to a school’s environment).
