Oh ok thank you
Of Course!
_mya’s advice can work but there are other approaches to attending a Ten School event and interview. I’d recommend against bragging. Remember, they will be living with the next class (2030) for 4 years, and they want to be with nice kids who are curious and have a passion for things beyond themselves. I do agree that you need to be comfortable talking about your accomplishments, and that sounds a lot like bragging, but it is a slightly different attitude. I’d recommend focusing on your passions if you are trying to get into Exeter. They want kids with passion, curiosity, and kindness. A kid that lights up about frogs and wants to share their love of frogs with classmates will be more compelling than a kid with a great resume. Really think about what lights you up, what you are curious about, and how you could share that with others. Focus on how you want to engage with the school, and what you can offer to the community. The whole application process can be a wonderful learning and growing experience as you answer these deeper questions about yourself and your life. It takes some effort, but thinking about things that give you joy and light you up can be fun.

Thank you so much for rephrasing, I feel that sounds better than what I put!
Thank you so much, I think I should maybe express my love for soccer over there because they also have a good soccer program/tradition over there.

wbu you?
im actually mad about exeter though my fam is about to fry me at the family reunion if i go to andover
I mean, at least you have an acceptance… I didn’t get a single admit. So depressed rn
nah dw you will get over it. If you were waitlised u still have a chance
i am considering groton though great school
Am I to assume you’re fam is Exeter? They can’t fry you if you didn’t get in.
Best revenge would be to go Blue.
Yea, I mean most of my moms side either went to exeter or LPS, and I mean i could start an andover chain but we will have to see!
as much disappointed i am about exeter, i am also happy for my acceptances, but i mean im down to stay at LPS one more year to apply to more BS but its a risk for sure.
I don’t understand this. You’re in at Groton, Andover and Lawrenceville. Not sure what other BS are better than that. Would be silly to pass on these to take another swing at Exeter. Also not a great idea to base a decision on where your family went. That your family went there didn’t do anything for you this time.
If I’m you, I’d do revisit days and make a call then. can’t make a call now based on what you know about these places to date. Revisits are super informative. I recall you saying you’re not exactly around the corner from these places, but I’d try to figure out a way to make that work.
