Hi! I got waitlisted for Exeter and Mercersburg this year- what can I improve?

You definitely should’ve applied to a larger variety of schools with lower acceptance rates. If you did you’d probably have gotten in somewhere.

My advice is to consider whether or not you’d like to apply as a repeat freshman or a sophomore. Less FA especially for an international student to go around in the 10th grade.

You also need to show from now until the next cycle that you’ve grown and expanded on your interests and abilities.
