Certainly worth applying. As at any school, the importance of the bassoon will depend, in part, on the college’s needs (are they short a bassoonist?). SAT’s are solid, but understand that Williams’ medians include students with other hooks (recruited athletes, ED legacies, etc.)- successful “non-hook” applicants will often have SAT’s >2,300. Needless to say, should also look at other top, but slightly less competitive, LAC’s, e.g. Haverford, Carlton etc. as are also outstanding schools.
