Was the comic book X-Men number one :)? Seriously, congrats, that is fantastic, I am sure Williams appreciated the creativity. It does seem like this will be a particularly tough year to get off the waitlist as Williams had an unexpectedly high yield, so it’s particularly impressive that they already accepted you, although it does sound like they will take a few internationals as five percent international is very low for Williams. On the other hand, 38 percent domestic students of color in the entering class is a record high (each of the past four years, that number has set a new record I believe, reflecting demographic trends among youth in this country):
