My Williams Essay (VERY BAD TYPO) (SNAPCHAT??) *REUPLOAD*

REUPLOADED FOR BETTER AUDIO QUALITY!
I'm a student at Williams College and this is the essay that got me in! I also share some general tips and reflections, my process, and background to Williams' supplement topics. The Williams supplements have changed since I applied; you can see current info here: https://www.williams.edu/admission-aid/apply/application-supplement/

I sincerely hope this goes without saying, but you're not going to get in by plagiarizing my essay; this is just a sample of an essay that worked because Williams doesn't publish accepted essays. I don't know what they liked about my essay, and the advice I shared comes only from my experience having gone through this process.

I wrote my essays very independently, which was a scary experience because I had no idea what schools were looking for. I did ask my high school English teachers for feedback when I had a solid draft on my more important essays and they were super helpful even though not many students from my high school go to selective colleges.

"What are your stats?" As of now, I'm not planning to share stats because the holistic admissions process means that admitted students' application portfolios look drastically different--and when i was applying, comparing myself to people who posted their stats only served to stress me out unnecessarily and unhelpfully. That being said, I might eventually reconsider–many folks have asked, and if that information would be helpful, I want to help! What I can say is that everyone here is super high-achieving but no one is perfect. I had some Bs! I dropped some extracurriculars! I didn't graduate high school with honors! There are students from all sorts of backgrounds, from super prestigious prep schools to community college, big underfunded public schools to military service. Schools like Williams are fiercely competitive, so from a student's perspective it seems that being an interesting applicant outweighs being "perfect." Do your best to enjoy the process!
