Good luck! Hope it works out. And definitely apply ED. As other have said, if you get accepted, they will meet your financial aid, Williams has some of the best financial aid awards of any school. In fact, part of the reason that Williams (and I still disagree with the decision) eliminated need blind admissions for international students is because oftentimes, Williams was (by the school’s formulas) compelled to award a massive percentage of the overall fin aid budget to international applicants. They are still just as generous with the international applicants they accept, it’s just that now, they essentially cap the number of international with financial need they offer admissions to. But if you DO get in, you’ll be golden, so there is absolutely no reason NOT to apply via the ED route if Williams is your dream school / first choice.
