<p>Is it nearly impossible for a late applicant to be admitted by those popular schools such as Exeter?.. I got frustrated!!!Especially I am applying to PG and need full-aid!!!Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh</p>
<p>Sorry, but I highly doubt that a late PG applicant needing full financial aid will be accepted. Most schools will at most offer any late applicants a place on the waitlist. But…if you’ve already completed the application process, don’t give up hope!!!</p>
<p>I applied to miss porters this summer. Unfortunatley I couldn’t attend beacause of financial aid. Check out fastwebs.com for scholarships and contest money. Good luck</p>
<p>Oh I forgot to tell you I was accepted, not waitlisted.</p>
<p>Yeah…pretty much impossible, especially with full financial need unless you have a really huge hook.</p>
<p>That absolutely sucks. Turning the application in on time is the easy part.</p>
<p>Well, my friend who goes to Exeter right now ('11) was a late applicant–so it IS possible. I’d imagine that as a PG it’s more difficult.</p>
<p>He was a fairly strong candidate though; high-up scout, spoke fairly good Spanish, played 3 sports (he’s only on the JV teams though, so he’s not a star athlete); soccer (striker), tennis and swimming, plays guitar (self-taught, not in a band or anything), he attended a private day–so I’d imagine it was tough, but he wasn’t academically advanced; only did Alg. I in grade 9, and is doing the basic, mandatory grade 10 stuff at Exeter.</p>
<p>So yeah, that’s all I can think of about him… I think his stronger suit was his community service; he travelled to Costa Rica as a volunteer–or maybe with Scouts?–I don’t really know… I just thought I heard something about Costa Rica. And his sports as well. I think he was just a well-rounded type. ALSO… he did an off-campus interview, another thing that’s been speculated as a draw-back.</p>
<p>But yeah, the gist of it is that it IS possible! So if you’re an extremely highly acclaimed athlete or something, than I think it’s totally possible! Given, of course, the scores, grade, recs, essays, and everything else is superb as well. :D</p>
<p>Mmoynan, I heard that you are in at Exeter. Congratulations! That’s amazing! Did you apply anywhere else? Is Exeter your first choice?</p>
<p>In exeter?..where did you hear that lol. She/He is just an applicant</p>
<p>mpicz: I think someone said that she got an official recruit letter from the hockey team or something like that.</p>
<p>I got one for basketball…that means im in??? I thought it was just a redundant letter…I was thinking the coaches had already told me they put in the recommendation or w.e awhile ago.</p>
<p>Lol what!? Where’d you hear that? No, I just said I’m officially a varsity hockey recruit. I made the top 8 cut, that’s all. The coach e-mailed me the good news etc., saying they were interested in many more girls but they had to go with the top 8 to fill the 7 spots that will be vacant next year.</p>
<p>Haha, I mean it’s great to be an official recruit for varsity, but it in no way means I’m in!</p>
<p>I WISH!!!</p>
<p>Express your high level of interest to the Admissions Office as soon as possible, and send in an extra recommendation - do you have any hook as a prospective post graduate student, or a compelling reason to want to attend as a PG? Also, did you request an interview by phone or in person - did you tour the school and stop by the Admissions Office? EXPRESS your interest to the school in these manners, and let them know how interested you are in attending, but also communicate what you can bring to the community…</p>
<p>Thank you all! The advices and examples are really useful! </p>
<p>I must at least have a try or otherwise I won’t forgive myself in future! For DREAM!!!</p>
