Yeah williams and amherst are the two top liberal arts schools in the entire country and Brown University is an ivy league. So yeah, notoriously difficult would about sum it up.
Getting placed on the wait list means that if, after they've heard from all the people they accepted, there are still places open in the class, they'll start accepting people off of the wait list. So it's not a rejection. But you have to enroll somewhere else just in case you don't get in from a wait list, and you lose your enrollment deposit if you do get in and have to switch schools. I also now have to start writing letters and making telephone calls to try to get them to accept me. And I won't find out until mid-May to mid-June. Erg.
