<p>It is fair because the same policies apply to all students including US students.

</p>

<p>It is “the same for all” only if you don’t examine too closely. Universities take as first-year applicants people who have done grade 13 (where it exists) or a “postgraduate year” at a boarding school. For example, </p>

<p>

"Approximately 15 percent of seniors are new to Exeter each fall; most of these seniors are post-graduate students.</p>

<p>Usually, post-graduate students want to strengthen their academic record. Alternatively, the post-graduate program is well suited for those students who find themselves graduating from high school at a young age, and who do not wish to enter college at that time. In either situation, we look for students who are achieving A and B grades in a strong academic program and have achieved success in some extracurricular endeavor. Such success enables these students to make a quick transition into our community. "</p>

<p>A year at Exeter is comparable to, and in many ways designed to simulate, the experience of attending college. You can split hairs over whether the two are the same in every respect, but certainly some applicants are more equal than others in their ability to utilize this path.</p>
