Williams offers students the option to apply without consideration of their SAT or ACT scores. Students who rank Williams can indicate which, if any, scores they would like considered in review of their application. After your QuestBridge Application has been forwarded to Williams, you will receive instructions on activating your My Williams Account. Once you have activated your application portal, you'll be prompted to complete a short form indicating which, if any, SAT or ACT scores you would like considered in review of your application.

For students who would like to submit test scores, Williams accepts official test scores, self-reported test scores, screenshots of score reports, or scores verified through counselors. Test score information can be included in the testing section of the QuestBridge Application or emailed to [email protected]. Official scores will be required for students who enroll at Williams and request that their scores be considered for admission. Please note that scores for all enrolling students will be verified and discrepancies between self-reported scores and official scores may jeopardize a student’s place at Williams.

Fee waivers are available for the CSS Profile and can be accessed here.
