#1 liberal arts college<\/strong> in america by the <em>u.s. news and world report. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>that\u2019s pretty huge, but there\u2019s more to a great college experience than just a ranking! <\/p>\n<p>williams is nestled in a cozy town at the foot of the berkshire mountains that just happens to have one of the best contemporary <a href=\"https:\/\/massmoca.org\/\">art museums<\/a> in america, amazing scenic hiking trails, and a famous music scene. <\/p>\n<p>a passion for learning and discovery is an important part of williams\u2019 identity. the academic program emphasizes <strong>small classes and oxford-style tutorials<\/strong>, with an average of one faculty member to every seven students. that\u2019s more than twice as many teachers for every student than the national average, and comparable to somewhere like harvard or yale. <\/p>\n<p>each january students can take one of dozens of pass\/fail courses, travel, pursue collaborative or independent research, or do an internship&#8211;expanding the breadth of their intellectual development. williams students are involved in their community, with almost everyone participating in one of the college\u2019s 150 campus organizations and clubs. <\/p>\n<p>as one of the <strong>most prestigious colleges<\/strong> in the country, applying to williams means taking on one of the most selective admissions processes out there. if you think williams is the right place for you, read on for more about what it takes to get in! <\/p>\n<h2>williams college quick stats<\/h2>\n<p>here are the bare-bones williams admission statistics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>average act: <\/strong>33.5<\/li>\n<li><strong>average sat:<\/strong> 1480<\/li>\n<li><strong>average gpa:<\/strong> 4.03 <\/li>\n<li><strong>admissions rate:<\/strong> 13%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>think this could be you? keep reading for the bigger picture!<\/p>\n<h2>more about williams act scores<\/h2>\n<p>like we mentioned above, williams takes only the best high school and transfer students in the country. that means the <strong>average act superscore at williams is a 33.5<\/strong>, which is higher than 98% of test-takers receive. <\/p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-361\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-361 tablepress-responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n<th class=\"column-1\"><\/th>\n<th

--><\/p>\n<p>the good news is the middle 50% of act scores for the class of 2023 was 32 to 35 &#8212; that means 25% of students scored lower than a 32 and still got in. if you got a 35 or higher, you got the same score as the top 25% of admitted students. <\/p>\n<p>it\u2019s a good idea to shoot for that 75th percentile if you\u2019re planning on applying to really make your application stand out, so <strong>make a 35 your <a href=\"\/\/www.catharsisit.com\/hs\/act\/act-scores\/\">target act score<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>another plus is williams <strong>superscores<\/strong> results for all standardized tests. if you\u2019ve taken the test more than once, it\u2019s a good idea to submit all your scores so they can be combined into one ideal composite score. they also allow applicants to self-report their test scores, meaning you don\u2019t have to pay the testing agency to send in official reports until you\u2019ve been admitted. <\/p>\n<h2>more about williams sat scores<\/h2>\n<p>the students admitted to williams\u2019 class of 2023 had an <strong>average sat score of 1480<\/strong>. to give you an idea of how those scores compare, only about 2% of students taking the sat got that score or higher. <\/p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-362\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-362 tablepress-responsive\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n<th

admitted students scored an average of a 745 on the evidence based reading &#038; writing section. <\/p>\n<p>the middle 50% of scores fell between 1410 and 1550, meaning 25% of students scored lower than a 1410 and were admitted and, equally, 25% got higher than a 1550. <\/p>\n<p>if you\u2019re seriously considering williams, you should focus on getting a score at or above the <strong>75th percentile result of 1550<\/strong>. competition among applicants is strong, and an outstanding test score can make a big difference. <\/p>\n<p>if williams is high on your list but your scores aren\u2019t where you\u2019d like them to be, their <strong>superscore policy<\/strong> means it\u2019s to your advantage to take the test as many times as you can. you don\u2019t have to worry about paying to send score reports until you\u2019re admitted since williams allows applicants to self-report, meaning there\u2019s really no reason not to try and raise your score. <\/p>\n<h2>more about williams average gpa<\/h2>\n<p>for the class of 2022, the average <strong>gpa was 4.03<\/strong>. that means you\u2019ll not only have to be basically a straight-a student, but most admitted students took more challenging classes, like ib, ap, or dual enrollment. <\/p>\n<p>consequently, 94% of students admitted in 2017 were in the top 10% of their class, which should help you figure out where the admissions department expects you to be. <\/p>\n<p>like with most selective schools, it\u2019s a good idea early in high school to plan on taking advanced, college preparatory classes to prove you can handle a university workload. don\u2019t let your grades slip in senior year, because williams requires a school report later in the year to make sure you stayed focused. <\/p>\n<h2>more about williams admissions rate<\/h2>\n<p>in 2019, <strong>williams admitted 13% of applicants<\/strong>. williams has been highly selective for a long time, and its admissions rate has only dropped in recent years. in 2018 the admissions rate was 15%, and in 2008, the admissions rate was 18.4%. <\/p>\n<p>if williams continues this trend, you can only expect it to become more challenging to get in over time, and you\u2019ll have to be an even more well-rounded applicant to be competitive. <\/p>\n<h2>williams freshman profile<\/h2>\n<p>let\u2019s go through some of the highlights from the <a href=\"https:\/\/communications.williams.edu\/news-releases\/3_19_2019_class2023\/\">latest class<\/a> admitted to williams:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>134 are international students representing 52 different
