[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you have to submit a graded paper to be in the running for Williams.

In some ways, I prefer this. I think it's a more honest example of the work you do while in school, not the work you do to get into a school. My older son applied a few years ago and, while happy enough with the graded paper he submitted, didn't have the confidence with other apps where he could write essays for each college. fully polished.  papers he wrote for school were sometimes done the night before kind of thing.

He was WL at Williams and is at Princeton now. Williams is a tough admit.[/quote]

But Princeton requires a graded paper too. Did he not have confidence with Princeton either? [/quote]

Had confidence, but that paper didn't have the same level of polish as essays. The high school assigns loads of papers, so it was one of those. Probably finished at 1am the night before one night in junior year.  I know some high schools have one, big end of term paper that would have been written and rewritten (like essays). He didn't have that.  Anyhow, it worked out [/quote]
