WilliamsStudent Profile
Williams students are an incredibly talented,
passionate, and diverse lot. They are defined
as much by their individual perspectives as
by the way they come together—with faculty
and staff as well—to create a warm, dynamic,
surprisingly noncompetitive community.
So it’s difficult to characterize students with
sets of numbers. But as you consider joining
this extraordinary community, maybe it’s
helpful to know something concrete about
who we are and where we come from. The
pages that follow offer some details, meant
to give you a sense of the students who
apply and come to Williams…and who,
in turn, are Williams.
