<p>I am an ED applicant awaiting news this week. I was just wondering if anyone has any real idea how Williams treats Alumni connections. My cousin who i know well sits on the board at williams and has written letters and talked to numerous people on my behalf. Clearly a school like Williams requires one to have a solid academic and extracurricular foundation, but i am curious how much ‘pull’ something like my cousin would give me seeing as i am at the low end of the range for avg. williams applicants.</p>
<p>Considerable Pull</p>
<p>Yes, that and my headmaster at my private school went there and is writing on my behalf…plus i sent a theatre audition tape that people said was pretty good…</p>
<p>i’m hoping for the best.</p>
