Should I even consider Williams ED?

thanks for the congratulations— i know you’ll be fine.

it should also be stated, though, that different ~vibes~ exist at different colleges. for example, the vibe at williams (a northeastern LAC) is different from the vibe at grinnell (a midwestern LAC) is different from the vibe at smith (an HWC).

i go to grinnell, and the overlap between people who applied to grinnell as well as colleges like dartmouth is very small— the schools just don’t have very similar vibes. however, the overlap between people who applied to grinnell as well as colleges like brown is pretty apparent. people just prefer certain environments over others, and that’s okay. just make sure to do your research and find what kind of environment you enjoy the most (which i know will be difficult during a pandemic, but i definitely believe you’ll be able to do it)!
