EXETER:

1. Tell us about something you learned on your own.
2. Tell us about your neighborhood and how it has shaped you.
3. Describe a moment when you felt challenged, successful, or
overwhelmed, and how you handled it.
4. Write on a topic or activity about which you are passionate.

Just looked at Exeter. Answer 2 of the 4 aforementioned questions and they must be handwritten (with a typed copy attached).

Out of curiosity how many schools request handwritten essays? I have heard of a few.

The Exeter questions sound like last year's questions. My son is class of 2016 at Exeter so he had these last fall.

They are last years questions, but I guess they just must be the same this year.

Oh sorry! I haven't been on in a while. I forgot to say that Andover has posted their essays and we can start. A warning my interviewer told me though was that the school wants to know how you are as a person now, not how you were three months ago.

Did Hotchkiss post the essay prompts on Gateway? I can't find them.
