| When you all say "Williams" are you refering to William & Mary? I'm so confused. |

There appears to be an immigrant with a child on the W&M waitlist. |

| Mostly boys who are moving up on WLs? |

Williams = Williams College Not William & Mary. |

Ha, acutally, I am an American Mom, new to all things college related. And I will take your snarky remark as a confirmation that Williams means W&M. |

YW. In case it helps, Williams is one of the NESCAC (New England Small College Athletic Conference) schools, which are a collection of 11 small liberal arts colleges that play each other. Those schools are: Amherst College, Bates College, Bowdoin College, Colby College, Connecticut College, Hamilton College, Middlebury College, Tufts University, Trinity College, Wesleyan University, and Williams College. |

| When a school says they do not rank their waitlist, how are they deciding who to pull off among hundreds or thousands of kids?!!! |

The ones with the highest ranks and ability to full pay |

Presumably it’s some combination of the school or major where they have spots to fill, geographic location, gender, financial status, knowledge of the HS (and whether there’s a strong history of yielding students), LOCI/additional info submitted when joining waitlist. |
