@rhapsody17: Or maybe Exeter is ridiculously hard for no reason and the students actually want to enjoy the High School years by attending Andover. We know it has nothing to do with getting into good colleges because Andover does very well in that department. Exeter faculty needs to learn that being a stickler on grading doesn’t help students matriculation rates to the top colleges. The time when Exeter students could name their college of choice has long passed.
