[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree 3 hours in Willamstown is 2 hours too much.[/quote]

Somebody's kid didn't get in. Is that you Colby booster?[/quote]

First PP. No, Williams dropped off her list and she ED'd to Amherst instead. Amherst was at the outer limit of her tolerance for remote, and she is very happy there. [/quote]

I’m the one who received the jab about southern schools.. during overnite, the nerd hosts took my kid to the library and flexed about how long each spent on an econ problem. Bleh.  Combined with the coach basically embarrassing himself begging my kid to pick Williams and several pompous (and unpublished) professors, very easy decision to go “lower in the rankings” for a fun school with comparable outcomes [/quote]

The mixing of "nerd hosts", "begging coach", and "pompous professors" into a single thread which is a triple of "non-existent stereotypes" at Williams (or other top NESCAC SLACs) was an impressive attempt. Thank-you for such an interesting little bit of fiction.[/quote]

painful as it may be for some of you, there are some raging nerds at Williams. And the begging coach was real, who lost out to Colgate and a 50% athletic scholarship for my kid. Will fully fund his roth IRA ($7k a year next 4 years), and cut him a check for the balance to invest or down payment on house at 22.  And likely will have the same available outcomes, maybe better as a D1 athlete.. pass on Williamstown all day every day[/quote]
