[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It looks like all these self-reporters have submitted a high SAT even though most of these colleges have a very low SAT submission rate?[/quote]

Because majority are white or Asian and not FGLI. Schools want to see those scores. Very hard to get in unhooked without strong stats across the board.[/quote]

Even at Williams College the majority don't submit a standardized test.  Only 35% submitted an SAT score and 17% submitted an ACT score.  Allowing for overlap, less than half submitted a test score.

So those who score at or above the 75% have an incredibly GREAT shot at getting into top LACs.[/quote]
Ofc at Williams- that school is a joke.[/quote]
+1, out tour guide spent more time talking about their experience abroad at Oxford than anything to do with Williams. Then, their admissions presentation heavily emphasized their Oxford program immediately after. I wasn’t sure the purpose of going to a college where it seems everyone wants to be somewhere 1000s of miles away. It’s really sad, because there is none at Oxford even thinking about Williams.[/quote]

I have been on tours at Williams multiple times with my kids. This flat out isn’t true.[/quote]
The Williams admission presentation includes WEPO. I know, because DS and I witnessed it 2 weeks ago. No reason this wouldn’t be true, unless you’re just too sensitive.[/quote]

It's mentioned, but it isn't overemphasized. I've been on that tour multiple times as my oldest turned down Williams for another NESCAC and my youngest will be receiving her acceptance to Williams in a few weeks.[/quote]
