A few years dated, but I chose Williams over three ivies (Brown, Dartmouth, Columbia), three non-ivies (UChicago, Duke, Northwestern), and two other LACs (Amherst and Pomona). I applied across the board to colleges (was rejected from my top choice - Princeton), as I was unsure of what I really wanted out of college; it wasn’t until speaking with alumni (and ruling out the possibility of pursuing engineering) did I actually understand where I wanted to be.
