ED deferrals

Deferrals are the worst. At least with denials, you can move on!

No one is forcing you to remain in consideration, though. You CAN move on.

Deferrals are neither good nor bad. It’s neutral. Didn’t say you’re not qualified, nor did it indicate you were strong. If the school defers a small number, you can probably be confident that nothing wrong with your application. You probably have a good chance with schools next rung.

According to an article in the Williams Record this week, Williams admitted 258 of 1,023 ED applicants for the class of 2030. 599 were flat-out denied, and 157 were deferred to the RD round. The article notes that "a small number" of deferred applicants are accepted in RD. Last year, the college accepted 18 deferred applicants.

So there's a chance, but it's slim.

Look through the team rosters. You will see most of the ED pool right on those lists. Most are NE boarding schools. Nothing has changed at Williams and nothing will.

That college is a real joke. Sure it has a great math program and entertains the humanities like art history, hut lord, it doesn’t even pretend to be meritocratic in any way. I find it disturbing how content lac parents are with 1/3 of the seats being endowed athletic chairs and the lack of care these schools have for talent. Then they rely on those same athletes to pull on the good boys network to get a Goldman Sachs job. It’s stupid.

It’s more than 10% of deferrals getting accepted. Not huge, but not slim either.

Williams is right for the right person they want; and they have a way of them finding you rather than you finding them.

You meant recruits?
