If he intends to continue the bassoon, it will help him with Williams. I agree with the other posters that you don’t have to have all As if you have the test scores(your son does) and are an interesting addition to the student body.
I don’t think it is “easier” to get into one or the other, that is probably more a matter of chance and your skill set compared to other acceptable applicants in a given year.
Your son should visit and see what he thinks about the schools, and if he can see himself happy at either or both, apply.
But honestly, if he likes Japanese and English, he should also look at Midd.
