Only about 250 spots are open for Williams ED. About the same number left for RD. But a lot more applicants for RD.

My son , and a number of athletes we well knew applied to Williams and like schools. Only one applied ED. Many athletes are still looking at other options and won’t cinch an ED deal. Also a lot of schools deal with athlete apps completely off the grid. Some of those athletes already signed junior year, some are ED, some are signed and go through a whole different process other students. Some even accepted after the app season. I do not believe majority of the athletes at Williams and like schools applied ED.

What IS missing from the ED pool are the kids with very top stats going SCEA at HPYSM and ED at Ivies other select schools who will be looking Williams if they are rejected or deferred early.
