<p>Yes, to all of the above. Yes, we got them. Yes, we applied ONLY because the FA component was force-fed to us (particularly by Exeter). Yes, it’s one thing to simply send a polite letter of introduction (as Andover did), but a completely different matter to “recruit” as Exeter did, only to reject the applicant. Based on our many interactions with E and A, would I allow my child to apply to them again? Andover, Yes. Exeter, No.</p>
