Williams College RD Class of 2024 Thread

Nope nothing on my page. Hmm… https://myadmission.williams.edu/apply/status is the address I am using.

@spicymustard
That link works for me, there should be “Status Update” link in a yellow box right in the middle of the screen. You can’t miss it.

Waitlisted too

@okapilion - I’ll trade you a Colby and throw in my Union acceptance too for Williams or Amherst. :). Seriously, I’m surprised you were waitlisted at Colby but got in to so many quality schools. Congrats all the same!

No box. Thanks for the info. I guess I am in limbo until I can call them tomorrow.

@spicymustard
Good Luck

Hang in there! Last year Williams took a lot off the waitlist. Write them a very strong letter describing how much you love them!

Regardless you have great options. Colby in particular is a majorly up and coming school. Of the ones on your accept list that’s what I would choose. Great school, happy kids, strong post-college placements. Good luck to you and let us know where you end up.

Accepted!

D accepted :slight_smile: … but our EFC is not do-able. :frowning:

For next year’s applicants, the award was almost exactly the same as the NPC, but Williams was very encouraging back in the fall that they would factor in some unique circumstances and consider our finances more holistically. I don’t feel like that happened tbh.

Congrats to everyone who was accepted. And if you’re waitlisted, hang in there - it’s not over yet!

Williams Econ is hard to beat, broad and deep course offerings and highly regarded faculty that are doing really interesting applied econ research. Great path to econ PhD or banking.

Dd accepted

@spicymustard are you a transfer applicant? Today’s decisions were for freshman RD admissions, not transfer.

Rejected… But I am ok with it. I got a fantastic offer from Skidmore and I am about 99% sure I am going to sign with them. #nocollegedebt
