<p>I certainly do not want to step between Exeter and Andover! Maybe someone from Extere can say if these are their most current numbers? Where possible I used the 10 Schools numbers. When details were unavailable there, I went to the School’s websites. So hopefully the 10 school numbers provided by those schools were all equally current or equally dated, but they do not tell you. </p>
<p>The full release from Andover touches on some other interesting points. It clearly shows that students applying for financial aid are (for whatever reason) less likely to be admitted. And yes this indicates that the current % on Financial aid has increased from 42% to 44%. But it appears that the growth in requests for aid (55% to 61%) is ahead of the growth in aid provided to students admitted (42% to 44%).

<p>PAParent: Any thoughts on what this shows?</p>
<p>Also I am not clear if all schools calculate “demonstrated need” the same way, so caveat emptor.</p>
