<p>For those who are applying to Choate Rosemary Hall, its student newspaper has published [an</a> article](<a href=“http://thenews.choate.edu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1609:admissions-features-diversity-and-legacy-in-national-pool&catid=19:news&Itemid=43"]an”>http://thenews.choate.edu/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1609:admissions-features-diversity-and-legacy-in-national-pool&catid=19:news&Itemid=43) explaining admission process and factors affecting decisions, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Financial aid;</li>
<li>Geographic distribution;</li>
<li>Ethnic diversity;</li>
<li>Academic recruitment;</li>
<li>Giving potential;</li>
<li>Legacy cases;</li>
<li>Applicant surveys.</li>
</ul>
<p>Choate has also published a related article on [admission</a> process for arts-oriented applicants<a href=“thanks%20to:%20baystateresident”>/url</a>. Exeter has published [url="<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-admissions/1436051-exeter-admission-decision-process.html"]a">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-admissions/1436051-exeter-admission-decision-process.html"]a</a> similar article](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-admissions/1434732-admissions-process-students-talents-arts.html"]admission”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-admissions/1434732-admissions-process-students-talents-arts.html) too. </p>
<p>I think there must be many aspects of admission processes unique to individual schools but many more are likely to be shared by these schools.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone! I wish you all happy new year, especially in March!!</p>
