Williams College Admits 231 to Class of 2013 in Early Decision Program
 |
The admitted group of 116 women and 115 men hail from 35 states, D.C., Puerto Rico and six foreign countries.
Of the 50 accepted, who identified as American students of color, 21 are African-American, 15 are Asian American, and 14 are Latino.
The popularity of the college is due to a number of factors that include positioning students at the center of their education; a stellar teaching faculty; research opportunities for undergraduates; first-class student housing; a diverse, inclusive, and supportive community; and the opportunity for a rich social life, including the newly completed Paresky Center, the hub of campus life, and the vibrant '62 Center for Theater and Dance.
Williams College admissions are made regardless of a student's financial situation. The college provides grants and other assistance to meet the demonstrated need of all those who are admitted.
Preview Programs for admitted students will be held April 18 -21. These programs give students the chance to attend classes, to meet faculty, to experience Williams College life here firsthand, and to meet the people who will be their future classmates.
Early Decision applications were due November 10. Applicants were notified December 15. The deadline to apply for Regular Decision admission was January 1, with notification from the college due early in April.
